A NCDD Listserv synopsis of the conversation entitled: How to pick stakeholders for a stakeholder dialogue Listserv Contributors: Tom Altee, Adrian Segar, Peter Jones, Marjo Curgus, Peggy Holman, Chris Santos-Lang, Betsy Morris, Eric Simley, and Sally Theilacker Synopsis by: Annie Rappeport, NCDD Intern “The approach to stakeholder selection is the most critical step in the design of fair and inclusive dialogues that reflect a community’s contributions and perspectives” ~ Peter Jones, NCDD Member In your dialogue and deliberation work do you find yourself struggling as much about who to invite to a dialogue as how to set the agenda? We Are All Catalysts: Part Two – How We Can Amplify and Broaden Dialogue and Deliberation Work1/14/2019 In part one of We Are All Catalysts, the focus was on examples of groups in dialogue in deliberation who showcase how our powerful inner sparks can be used to transform conversations and communities. In part two, we want to follow up and have all of you help guide our continued conversations! “It was impossible to get a conversation going, everybody was talking too much.” ~ Yogi Berra We live in a world of noise. Many of us lament at the current environment of ideological polarization that hinders respectful and productive conversation. We have the power to break through this noise and create spaces for listening and thoughtful dialogue. It can seem daunting in the current ways of the world, but the tools are accessible and the need critical. We Are All Catalysts: Part One – How We Can Amplify and Broaden Dialogue and Deliberation Work10/29/2018 “After all, the ordinary hero hiding in each of us is often the most powerful catalyst for change.” ~ Tate Taylor We all have a spark within and we choose every day how we will or will not use our spark. In our NCDD community, we spark conversations–dialogues that change hearts and minds and steadily change the world. Our sparks can be small or big, but we must work intentionally to ensure that the sparks catch fire. What do I mean by this? I mean that it is up to us, as those working firsthand in the creations of spaces for dialogue and deliberation, that we do not work in isolation. Like the catalysts in science, we must interact with others to create the chemistry worth having in our world. NCDD is excited to announce that we will be co-presenting a session at the Public Library Association Conference in Philadelphia, PA on Friday, March 23rd at 2:00pm. Along with our partners at the American Library Association Public Program’s Office, NCDD will be talking with public librarians about the Libraries Transforming Communities: Models for Change initiative and will help them further explore how libraries can engage their communities through dialogue and deliberation. The session is open to all attendees. The description for the session, titled Libraries Transforming Communities: Models for Change is below: |
