This Wednesday: A Deliberative Dialogue on Economic Opportunities in Monroe County
The Democracy Commitment at MCC will hold its second deliberative dialogue
of the spring semester on 4/19 from 11:45am-1:00pm in the Forum. The
dialogue, Economic Opportunity in Monroe County: How Can We
Create Equitable Opportunities for All?, will focus on
improving prosperity and quality of life in Monroe County. Please see below for
more information.
Deliberative dialogues are unique opportunities for collaborative
thinking about pressing public issues. Because each dialogue takes the form of
deliberation, attendees drive the conversation in small groups facilitated by
trained moderators. Deliberation is unlike panel discussions or debates. It is
highly participatory, egalitarian, and non-adversarial. The foundation of each
dialogue is an issue guide. These guides offer an opportunity to explore an
issue critically and discuss alternative action steps while keeping our values
at the center of the conversation. If you want an advance copy of an issue
guide or have questions, please email Joe Scanlon
(jscanlon1@monroecc.edu).
Economic Opportunity in Monroe County: How Can We Create
Equitable Opportunities for All?
4/19/23, 11:45am to 1:00pm, Forum (Brighton Campus)
Creating a sustainable community means ensuring equitable opportunities for
all. One of our area's most persistent questions is how to address poverty and
issues relating to our shared quality of life in Monroe County. Join us as we
deliberate over options emphasizing education, economic development, and
increased direct aid to residents. This event is free and open to the
public. Please register in advance for the Economic Opportunity in
Monroe County event.
Sponsoring initiatives and departments: The Democracy Commitment at MCC,
