Conversation Corps meetings start today

Conversation Corps, a program of facilitated dialogue on important community issues, has announced six months of topics for which the City of Austin, Capital Metro and Austin Independent School District will be seeking public input. Each round of conversations will begin the second Monday of the month at various times and locations throughout the city. Every month, groups will meet all around town for facilitated dialogue, discussing the same “issue of the month” from one of the three partner agencies. Conversations will take place in a variety of venues — schools, houses of worship, community centers, coffee shops and restaurants — and will last about an hour. The next round of conversations begins today. This month, the City of Austin, Capital Metro and AISD are seeking input about budget priorities.
