    In collaboration with the Hollygrove-Dixon Neighborhood Association (HCNA), the Community Climate Shift Core Team is excited for you all to visit community partners leading the charge to create solar powered resilience hubs in the city. You will visit the Broadmoor Community Church, which serves as one of many lighthouse hubs designed to power communities after natural disasters, a Job Corps site training students to build solar panels, and stop by the Oasis Project led by Healthy Community Services.

    Hollygrove-Dixon Neighborhood Association's mission is to work collectively and collaboratively with neighbors for a better, stronger, more resilient, and first-class neighborhood where everyone can thrive and support each other.

  • Location: Conti Room

    Join Julian Mocine-McQueen for a one-of-a-kind workshop dissecting the power of narration and how you can tell your own story.

    Our introductory workshop provides a complete overview of our technique with examples. Participants will begin the process of narrative development and have an opportunity to share stories with each other. They will explore their connection to the values that guide their lives and work, and build the skill of identifying and crafting a narrative to use in formal and informal professional settings (or around the dinner table).

  • Location: Bienville Room

    Want to build your skills in speaking with the media? Sunstone Strategies will host a media training that shares the basics of working with journalists, tips for various interview formats, and a messaging framework to build memorable and quotable moments. The training will immediately put skills into practice with interactive mock interviews.

Community Agreements

  1. We acknowledge our individual and collective power. We continuously assess and evaluate our own power and privilege and how this influences the space we make and take. 

  2. We encourage everyone to participate by speaking up, and listening actively. We ask ourselves WAIT: Why Am I Talking? Why Aren’t I Talking? When we don’t talk, we listen actively. We speak up while also making space for others if we’ve already shared. 

  3. We give each other the benefit of the doubt, and are accountable for our impact regardless of our intentions. We assume our peers are doing their best to learn, contribute, and share space. We address conflict directly, and take responsibility.

  4. We move at a pace where all can understand and contribute. We share responsibility for increasing belonging and inclusion of all. 

  5. We prioritize staying present, taking care of ourselves, and speaking up for what we need. We allow ourselves to use the bathroom, eat, stretch, and feel good in the space. We ask for clarification and adjustments. We limit outside distractions that can wait.

  6. We respect each other as whole people with multiple identities, backgrounds, abilities, and interests. We speak from our individual point of view, using “I.” We don’t speak for others, and what we share doesn’t represent an entire group. We acknowledge relationships to organizational and systemic power.

  7. We honor everyone’s perspectives and honor different kinds of knowledge. Everyone has unique lived experiences which contribute to the space and the collective wisdom of the group. No one knows everything; together we know a lot.

  8. We are curious and open to changing our minds, learning, and being wrong. Integrating new ideas and changing one’s mind is a critical skill for productive collaboration and partnership. We take learnings with us leaving behind confidential stories or gossip.
