Eight Touch Stones

We don’t mean this…

We mean this…

Which does your current community engagement efforts most resemble?

Communities are complex, they demand continuous learning

Touch Stone 1: Finding a Community Building Team

Start your Initiator group

The main protagonists:

• Leader – someone that can bring people together to work on an issue

• Gift Giver – a person that is willing to contribute their asset to work on an issue.

• Invisible Person – a person that has not yet been “discovered” or been convinced to use their assets to help achieve their dreams or address their concerns in the neighborhood.

The unsung hero! • Community Builder – an individual that is good at

discovering what people care about and where their assets can be used. Not a single issue person!

• Gift centered

• Well connected

• Trusted

• Believe they are welcome

Touch Stone 2: Recruiting a Community Animator

The Characteristics of Community Animator

• A facilitator/includer

• A line back/gapper

• A community builder in their own life

• A child-like curiosity/with an adult presence

• Never does for others what they can do for themselves

Touch Stone 3 : Hosting Conversations to Discover Assets and What People Care

About.

Discovering, Mapping and Connecting

What do people care about enough to work on?

Appreciating what’s good about the community

Touch Stone 4 : Engaging Local Groups and Associations

Ask what else they want to do, who else they know who might be interested in an ideas fair?

e.g. Faith communities, sporting groups, environmental groups etc

Informal social networks
