Local Forums: The Return of "Community Conversations"

All over the country, people are flocking to local events with speakers, films potlucks, music and more. Held in churches or community centers, community forums represent a return to local culture: entertainment and learning in our own neighborhoods, in the company of our friends, colleagues and neighbors.

We are proud to introduce the Forum Organizing Project, a joint project of On the Commons and the Institute for Policy Studies. The Forum Organizing Project supports local forums with information resources, tools and tips for events-organizing, and a central place for organizers to network.

Check out our new website at ForumOrganizing.org for resources and tips for holding great events on the Economic Crisis, and other issues. To contact us with questions or comments, please email Andree at forumorganizing at gmail.com, or call her at 617 541 0500 ×302.
