After a weekend of dialogue, celebrating best practices, and mapping community resources, what’s next?

This brief, action-oriented workshop is intended to provide a platform for participants to move through inspiration to collaboration and effective and focused action. Using a city map of crowdsourced resources, this facilitated session will; 

• identify priority  issues mapped by conference participants,
• locate existing projects and organizations to avoid duplicating our efforts,
• offer support in setting up communities of  practice, and
• share strategies and tactics for keeping the work alive.
