Community Conversations Tool

Community conversations build awareness about the purpose and activites of the starter group, begins a community dialogue and visioning about children and child well-being, and leads to the identification of priority areas that lead towards planning. It is important to see the conversations not as a means to an end, but as a way to build momentum, understanding, buy in, and ongoing participation from different groups in the primary focus group. This is a key opportunity to lay a good foundation for structured participation and community ownership.
