Hi All :) This is a forward from Paula Green of the Leverett Community peace organization that bought us the wonderful dialogue with the folks from Letcher County, KY, and the open forum day with them not too long ago. Warm Regards, Lisa Hoag REFLECTIONS What We Learned from our Weekend with our Kentucky Guests Monday, December 11, 7 pm Mt. Toby Friends Meeting House 194 Long Plain Rd (Rt. 63) Leverett FREE & OPEN TO THE PUBLIC The Bridging Committee of the Leverett Alliance hosted 11 folks from Letcher County KY the weekend of Oct 27-30, all participating in dialogues, meeting the public at a community forum, contra dancing and shape-note singing. The success of the weekend in bridging two very different communities was exhilarating. Come hear members of the Bridging Committee speak about their experience. • What were the closed dialogues (6 hours altogether) like? • What thoughts went into the overall weekend design? • What did we learn about the Kentuckians and ourselves? • What kinds of shifts and insights took place? • How did we manage hot-button political issues? • Where does this bridging endeavor go from here? • Answers to your questions . . . and more -- Lisa Hoag Designs PO Box 983 Wendell, MA 01379 http://www.lisahoagdesigns.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
