I want to plan an event for:
my friends
meetings anyone can host
my neighbours
for a particular neighbourhood or specific topic
my city
for issues of city-wide relevance
my. f r i e n d s
◦ Dinner and discussion
◦ Reading circle
◦ Invite a local expert to discuss an idea
◦ Can be hosted in someone’s home.
◦ Great place to get started if you want to build knowledge of the issues together.
◦ Better participation – smaller numbers mean a lower barrier to speaking, sharing and learning.
◦ Increased focus and depth.
◦ Stronger connections formed – especially good if you are forming a “core group” of people trying to make changes.
◦ Recommended reading and watching lists.
◦ Discussion formats tailored to your needs.
◦ Ideas for issues of interest in different neighbourhoods.
Resources to facilitate this type of event include: checklists, reading lists, guides on how to promote it, presentation templates.
my. n e i g h b o u r s
◦ Local issue or representative Q&A
◦ Block party or community potluck
◦ Walk or bike tour
◦ Targeted engagement in a particular neighbourhood – will help you lobby for change as a group.
◦ Inclusive atmosphere and builds neighbourhood identity.
Collaborative problem-solving – you never know who might come and what skills they have for getting things done.
◦ Local solutions for local problems.
◦ Support and discussion on the practicalities of running these kinds of events.

◦ Formats and topics tailored to your needs.
◦ Help getting the word out and inviting people.
