Southern CRD Webinar:
Chalk and Talk: A Different Approach to Community Engagement
September 28, 2018 @ 2:00pm CT/3:00pm ET
The ‘Chalk and Talk’ program seeks to engage people in a creative and accessible way about their feelings, thoughts and views on their city’s downtown. In essence it is a way to informally gather and summarize the varying views and experiences of attendees of local festivals and events about the city while they are immersed in it. The intent is that this information can inspire dialogue and help inform the preliminary steps taken towards longer term design, planning and revitalization initiatives.
