Our Mission:

Build Capacity for Constructive Conversation

Watertown Community Conversations facilitates the use of dialogue to strengthen the social fabric of our City, increase understanding across differences, build our collective capacity for constructive conversation, and support community-engaged decision-making. We partner with community sponsors to design and facilitate dialogue around issues vital to our civic life.

Watertown Community Conversations is pleased to acknowledge funding from the Watertown Community Foundation in support of its programs.

Our Programs

Since our first Introductory Meeting on Community Engagement in December, 2016, we have engaged the Watertown community in proven, successful models for improving public discussion and debate. We continue these efforts with facilitator training and other programs open to all residents, community and business leaders, and other stakeholders in Watertown.

Resources

Watertown Community Conversations is part of a national effort to create inclusive and effective public discussion and decisions. We have put together our own resources as well as resources from other communities in Massachusetts, New England, and nationwide.
