What They're Saying
“It was a great opportunity to get out of our comfort zones and look at problems in a new way. I got some new insights I might not have seen otherwise.”
– Kojo Idrissa, Django Software Foundation
“I will be able to apply the learning to my client projects and teach them some of the techniques. I will confidently recommend the workshop to others in the community.”
– Mary Grace Landrum, One Star Service Commission
I have seen various iterations of various pieces of these techniques, but the way that they were all brought together and adapted to the civic/social space was truly novel for me. I liked the approach of having the two facilitators."
