March & April 2021 Conversations & Notes

You can find the collective harvest of our conversations here for March and for April.

March Conversations

On March 10, 2021 we split into two groups to explore the following topics:

• How might we identify and navigate when we are ‘at capacity’?; and

• Planning a mini-conference / learning opportunity for COVID-19 recovery in community

April Conversations

On April 14, 201 we dove into two conversations:

• Ways to celebrate successes (or just celebrate) with community members from afar/while adhering to COVID restrictions:

  • Highlights: there are definitely limitations to this during the pandemic… but some experimentation with handing out individualized goods (e.g. meals/food, craft kits), as well as summer survival kits.

• Exploring Co-Developed Partnerships: innovative, wise practices, process, design

  • Highlights: partnerships since COVID have been related to space, and facilitating them digitally has had challenges. Looking towards longevity and sustainability, and how do we keep focus on this over piloting things that move around in short bursts?

  • Nurture the solid partnerships you have, even as things change and what brings you together may go away.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and participated in these important conversations! We can’t wait until next month to do this again! Our next gathering is Wednesday, May 19, 2021 at 9:00 a.m.!
