Civic Reflection Dialogue: How the Arts and Humanities Provoke Public Conversations

Pam Blevins Hinkle, Erin Kelley, and LaShawnda Crowe Storm

Spirit and Place--which uses the arts, humanities, and religion as civic tools--will provide an overview of the Civic Reflection Dialogue (CRD) facilitation strategy, how it was used to create critical community conversations on race, how volunteer-community facilitators have continued to use CRD in other community settings, how Spirit and Place is using CRD to explore other important community issues, and how our collaborative process and skills training builds community capacity.
