Workshop: Community Engagement Matters
Paul Schmitz
Community engagement is about ensuring that those most affected by social challenges have a say in designing and implementing solutions. The participation of intended beneficiaries and their families, neighbors, and trusted leaders should be an integral part of data-driven processes to achieve better results. A shift in power where community members own and help produce the result leads to greater impact. In this interactive workshop, you will learn approaches and tools that will help you better do work with community instead of to or for community.
12:30-1:30 pm
"Falling Forward: On the Road to Social Impact"
Film Screening with an introduction from the film's producer
Kate Robinson
Falling Forward speaks to nonprofit leaders, boards, and funders who want to create true social impact. The short film considers what it looks like when we seek data not as proof that services work, but as an opportunity to learn and improve.
Social sector strategist and filmmaker Kate Robinson explores the possibilities of celebrating nonprofit program failures as necessary steps toward true social impact in a comprehensive and compelling case study drawn from interviews with nonprofit staff, board members, funders, and clients.
