Public forums create community bonds by providing an outlet to share opinions: educating our neighbors as to who we are and what we believe and being educated in return. Not only do we increase our wisdom in this way, we develop bonds: with our fellow citizens and with the community as a whole.
The Indiana Humanities Council has been conducting civic conversations since its inception and we see the benefits of these events as a crucial measure of our success. For the past six years, the Indiana Humanities Council has concentrated on building connections with and engaging Indiana's established and emerging leaders in civic dialogs concerning such crucial issues as human capital development, regional partnerships, economic growth, and quality of life management. While these topics will likely continue in some forums, our focus in 2008 will be on immigration old and new and its impact on Indiana communities.
As a result, civic conversations dealing with this year’s theme of immigration will be considered for Special Priority in our Grants Program.
A Special Priority civic discussion forum is an event convening a broad base of community stakeholders for the purpose of discussing issues related to immigration from a humanities perspective. The event should incorporate humanities scholars into the program and enable attendees to participate in open discussion. As stipulated in the grant requirements, Civic Forums must be open to a public or school audience.
