What does it mean to be a bridge-builder? A bridge-builder is someone who establishes relationships, improves communication and helps to build trust among varying groups. In this training we will be joined by Janeen Bryant, a thought leader in the areas of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Access (DEIA) who will help us better understand how to be a bridge-builder in our community. This training will focus on how to:
- Understand your neighborhood in context using city and county data
- Map resources and people
- Build and heighten awareness of the neighborhood as an ecosystem of shared resources
- Strengthen your relationships and connection to the City of Charlotte and to your neighborhood
- Heighten your capacity to lead/discuss across difference and understand self-interest
