Civic Resilience Research Agenda
-
Supports local government public servants and community leaders in articulating their on-the-ground needs as actionable questions and
-
Provides pathways for experts of all kinds to identify local priorities, align their work with these priorities, and offer their skills and knowledge to contribute toward answering these questions.
The output of our work is twofold:
A Product
- A symbol of the creator’s intentionality, care, and labor
- A demonstration of the amount of work/projects yet to be realized
- An artifact that shares specific questions, goals, and values at present
- A focal point for initial conversation
A Process
- A method used to identify and articulate needs and assets
- An analytic process that surfaces key themes and values
- A set of guidelines to help identify a communication medium that will reach the intended audience
