Strategizing Towards Resilient Community

In the face of a future of change, opportunities, threats, stresses, and unknowns, this Waterloo-based, citizen-driven collaborative process of inquiry and dialogue asks:

What community-wide strategies can we develop that can be wise, smart and powerful enough to serve our visions of community resilient around the values that are important to us?

‘Strategizing depends on a rich and complex web of conversations that cuts across previously isolated pockets of knowledge and creates new and unexpected combinations of insight.’ Gary Hamel

We'll explore and strategize together in a wide variety of forms of conversation, questioning, dialogue and information-sharing. It will be a participatory process that can include as conversation cafes, world-café, and open space or 'unconferencing' events. There will be short presentations, live or on video, and artists' and musicians' productions. We will also reflect on our ongoing experience and plan for the future through graphic recording and various forms for capturing and re-presenting emerging ideas.

A vegetarian lunch will be provided. Further details are available on TransitionKW's Mayor's Forum Series page. For more information, please contact us by email at resilientcommunities@transitionkw.ca.
