About this workshop

What's the goal of the workshop?

To identify and map the strengths, resources, and hidden talents within your community, organization, or school.

Who should attend?

Ideal for community leaders, neighborhood associations, program directors, economic & community development professionals, volunteers, administrators, and anyone interested in strengthening local communities.

What's the ideal group size for this workshop?

The workshop envisions 15-30 participants, but it can be run in a number of configurations depending on your organization's needs.

What is the workshop format?

This is an interactive, discussion-based workshop. Participants will be split into small groups and asked to collaborate to identify the people, places, organizations, and skills that already exist within their community. Participants will also report back to the larger group via a mapping exercise that matches community resources with community needs.

How long is the workshop?

The workshop length can be tailored to fit your organization's needs. We recommend that you reserve at least 45 minutes for your participants, but extended versions of the workshop allow participants to explore community strengths with more depth.

What should participants bring to the workshop?

Nothing! Materials necessary to conduct the workshop will be provided by your presenter.

What happens after the workshop?

Participants will leave the workshop with a better understanding of their community's strengths and a framework for leveraging those assets in future community initiatives. Your presenter will provide your organization a summary report that outlines key findings from your workshop. Optionally, your organization may partner with Moonbeam Multimedia to codify your workshop results into a lightweight digital tool that can be updated as your organizational needs evolve.
