CCP is a learning communty that holds space which allows people to share their stories and collectively pay attention to what emerges for actionalble change.
We use dialogue, asset based community development, and action planning to support individual engagment, creativity and collaborative innovation.
This is an open source project.
We are:
A group of professional trainers and consultants finding ways to make a difference in the lives of individuals and communities and researching impact of conversation on people in transition.
Our pilot: May 2009
We convienved our first conversation focusing on people impacted by the economic situation effecting many of us in Lake Forest Park Washington, spondsored by Friends of Third Place Books. You can view a slide show here about that two day workshop event titled Bridge to the Future: Communities in Transition.
Our Vision:
We are addressing the needs of people and communities in transition by fostering a shift from isolation to community.
Our Mission:
We are holding conversations that lead to a greater sense of self during transtition and an action plan for going forward in ambigous times.
Over the past couple years I've become more and more involved with the PS area non-profits that already exist. I hope we will consider ways to leverage the wealth of good causes already organized and underway.
Looks like our date is set for Monday, May 11, 8 am to noon, and Tuesday, May 12, 1 - 5 pm. We need a title and a two sentence description for the Friends of Third Place Commons publication.
Just so you all know, pbwiki is changing my account from a trial to a "basic" service. So, tomorrow this will not look orange and the security settings will change. I am not sure what the layout effects will be. Just be aware that things will look different.
I just customized the eventbrite address on the fliers. Thank you Lucy!! Constance confirmed the dates and put it in print there so we are ready to start inviting people to this thing!!
Spoke with Sarah Philips today at the City of Lake Forest Park. She had already heard what we are going from Constance. I invited her to particpate and bring in her knowledge of the community. She is the community liason to the city of LFP. She is also going to circulate the flier electronically.
Some one emailed me today - a participant who asked if this would be a good opportunity for networking. I told him is was and suggested it was "networking plus". Does that make sense to all of you?
