Community Conversations [EPUB ebook] 
Mobilizing the Ideas, Skills, and Passion of Community Organizations, Governments, Businesses, and People, Second Edition

Communities around the world are entering a new era of community building.


Whether improving economic conditions and reducing poverty, re-energizing citizens and social programs, reducing crime, or revitalizing a troubled neighborhood, they are engaging people from all sectors as never before to work together as equals to improve their quality of life.


At the heart of this engagement are community conversations, in which common goals are embraced by a diverse array of people with different backgrounds and needs, and influencers are drawn from multiple sectors, including community organizations, the various levels of government, and businesses big and small.


Full of informative and inspiring examples of collaboration,
Community Conversations captures the essence of creating such conversations and offers ten practical techniques to host conversations in your community.
