You are invited to a special training workshop hosted by the Whatcom Family & Community Network with Steve Byers, a state-wide trainer on the World Café process.  The goal of this training is to expand our community’s leadership in facilitating and hosting more Conversations That Matter. These conversations will help us build deeper connections, expand our collective knowledge, and build new possibilities for action.

World Café can help groups hold meaningful conversations together on key and emerging issues, such as:

• Agencies can partner in deeper conversations with their participants about their lives,
• Schools can partner in meaningful conversations with parents and youth about creating educational purpose and success, or
• Community residents can come together to talk about what matters most for everyone to thrive.

Light lunch will be provided!

The workshop is FREE, but please register using this link

These workshops are provided by the Family Policy Council and the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation to build community capacity throughout WA State.
