Citizen Solutions Forum from a Facilitator’s Perspective
Editor’s Note: We’ve shared much about last month’s Citizen Solutions Forums, In-person Gatherings InCommons helped coordinate in three communities to bring residents of all political backgrounds together to share ideas for solving the state’s ongoing budget issues. They continue as Virtual Gatherings. Today, we offer a unique perspective on the Forums from Jerry Nagel, President of Meadowlark Institute and part of InCommons’ growing, trained team of gathering facilitators.
The recent Citizen Solutions gatherings sponsored by InCommons and the Bush Foundation provided a great opportunity for InCommons facilitators to contribute their skills to dialogues and to Minnesota. The dialogues also offered all of us that participated a great learning opportunity as facilitators/hosts.
