Host your DIY Design Workshop with our Community Conversation Kit

Please help us identify ways to build community resilience. Your voice and perspective are crucial in this important work. As we develop climate-resilience plans, we want to ensure that everyone's voice is heard and that our plans represent our whole community.

The Community Conversation Kit is designed to help you host a successful discussion. This could be with friends, neighbors, or family in your living room, kitchen, or front porch! It provides everything you need to lead a meaningful chat, bring people together, and build local resilience in your community.

By following these easy steps, you can create a space where everyone feels included and heard:

Step 1: Prepare

Start by downloading the Kit and looking through the materials. The How-To Host guide includes a script, helpful hints, a step-by-step guide, and an email template you can use. Please try to print everything before your meeting. If you need assistance, contact the Project Team*.

Choose a time and place for your event, invite your guests, and inform them about the event's purpose and its significance to the Resilient Together project.

Step 2: Host

Welcome your guests, introduce yourself, and share why you’re hosting the conversation. Then, watch a short video together to learn about the project and the challenges we face from climate change.

Then, choose a Design Challenge to focus on. Work together to complete the activity worksheets as a group to generate ideas, discuss potential problems, and explore ways to make your ideas work.

End by sharing what you came up with and asking participants to complete a brief survey.

Step 3: Submit

To return your Community Chat Kit, complete these forms:

If that doesn’t work for you, email we-are@resilient-together.info, and our team will help you find an alternative way to return it.

*Printed Kits are available for pickup at the County Office Building at 401 McIntire Road, just inside the Visitor's Entrance at the front desk.

Training Sessions for Hosts

Organizations and community members interested in hosting their own events to support the project are invited to learn about Community Conversation Kits.

We'll have printed kits available on-site for pickup!
