Crowdsourced Conversations – University Heights: Sustainability in University Heights
For the first time ever, the City of University Heights is hosting its very own Crowdsourced Conversations! The topic: Sustainability. Crowdsourced Conversations is a community-building program that provides a safe and welcoming space for Heights residents to come together and brainstorm ways to become more engaged in the community.
The survey was live from October 1-October 31st. The forum took place on Tuesday, November 19 from 7pm-8:30pm in the Large Music Room, (M109) at Wiley Middle School. Opening remarks were made by Mayor Michael Brennan along with Deanna Bremer Fisher before we turned it over to our small group discussions.
This event was free to attend.
How Crowdsourced Conversations flows:
Step One: The Survey!
- The purpose of our survey is to reach as many Heights stakeholders as possible in order to generate meaningful action-oriented small group discussion questions for our event on the topic.
Step Two: The Data!
- Once the survey closes, we will generate a report to share the results. This report will be housed on the FutureHeights website and will be shared with community partners, elected officials, and more.
- We will also use the survey results to generate small group discussion questions for our Crowdsourced Conversations event on the topic.
Step Three: The Conversation!
- All Heights residents/stakeholders are encouraged to participate in our Crowdsourced Conversations forum.
- While there will be brief opening remarks by guest speakers, this forum series emphasizes the small group discussions that are action-oriented and strengths-based.
Step Four: The Follow-up!
- After our forum night, all event participants will have the opportunity to stay connected to the other members of their small group discussion and will receive electronic copies of the survey report and any other resources utilized during the event.
- All event participants will also be able to help us co-create a Resource Page on the forum topic that will live on the FutureHeights website.
This forum series will be an opportunity to connect with other Heights residents about topics that impact us in a variety of overlapping ways. We hope you can join us for all four conversations! Any questions, connect with info@futureheights.org.
