DO YOU FEEL YOUR VOICE IS BEING HEARD IN WEST HARTFORD? Would you like to change something in town? How can West Hartford help to make your life better? Does West Hartford feel like a welcoming town? West Hartford Community Connections (WHCC) invites you to meet with us individually to share your thoughts about West Hartford as a changing community. If you’re interested, please contact us to set up a time and place to meet: Gale Shapiro – [email protected] or 860.232.6958 Additional information: 1. What is West Hartford Community Connections? About Us West Hartford Community Connections is a grass-roots initiative to facilitate and connect communitybuilding efforts in Town. We acknowledge and celebrate the diversity of our population, including differences of race, ethnicity, income, sexual orientation, education, religion, political persuasion, age, physical and mental ability, and more. We believe these differences add to the vibrancy of the community. This initiative, created as a result of The Community Conversation (West Hartford: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow) in 2010, brings about openness and increases good citizenship among our adults and children. Vision We envision a West Hartford community that excels in: Encouraging participation and a sense of belonging Embracing diversity Providing opportunities for cross-group experiences Responding to the needs of all residents Using community organizations and government effectively Mission Our mission is to foster inter-group educational, entertainment and transformational experiences for all segments of the community. 2. What do you mean by Dialogue to Action Initiative? A Dialogue to Action Initiative is an approach to community changes that starts with small-group, facilitated dialogues. The dialogues bring different kinds of people together around a public concern and create a space that enables constructive, respectful conversation using agreed upon guidelines. Groups of 10 to 12 participants meet for four sessions, develop trusting relationships, and share understandings of the issue under discussion. During the fourth dialogue session, participants brainstorm doable action ideas and plan next steps. West Hartford Community Connections is excited to work with Everyday Democracy. They bring national experience and resources to conducting small Dialogue to Action groups. The dialogues reach a depth that forums, public hearings, focus groups, and town meetings cannot. The West Hartford Cultural Council presents: SORO BINDI DUFFY ELEMENTARY STUDENT PERFORMANCE: MONDAY, APRIL 27TH Soro Bindi is an energetic, educational and engaging performance that will showcase Ghana’s unique culture through traditional dances, songs and stories.
