i feel like a big challenge with this project
something that's important, and a great learning opportunity for us
is how to create spaces and opportunities for an exciting meaningful conversation that include 'experts' and'non-experts'...
How do you set up activities and interactions that allow a trained urban planner, a real estate developer, a renter, and a 16 year old student to all contribute from their own place of experience and knowledge, but also create a landscape for discourse that moves beyond- i share my story, you share yours...that moves to engagement?
How do we engage in ethical, moral, values-based dialogue that makes listening not only the respectful thing to do, but a neccessary action to actually achieve the task at hand?
What is the task at hand, amidst a desire for civic inquiry (a step before social action, perhaps) that offers us the chance for successful events and authentic participation?
