Storied Communities, Community Stories

Join us for an interactive webinar exploring the role of resident voices in community development. The webinar is based on Storied Communities, Community Stories – a unique study in which researchers partnered with local literary artists to engage residents in examining the role of community-based development organizations (CBDOs) in their communities.

During the webinar, we will explore questions like:

• How do the priorities of CBDOs align with the desires of our residents?
• What practices can CBDOs use to engage residents in substantive, longer-term ways?
• How can we as a group support better engagement between CBDOs and residents?
  
  Through interactive discussions and real-world examples, we will examine ways to strengthen processes and practices that engage residents effectively. You will come away with valuable insights and strategies for supporting communities in ways that align with resident needs and values.
