From Incivility Fatigue to Energizing Civic Conversation September 26th 2013 4:00 - 6:00pm
Hello to all!
Below is a great opportunity for you to increase your understanding of civility and role in our community:
The Portland Public Library, in partnership with the Maine Humanities Council and Institute for Civic Leadership, is pleased to share news about our "Choose Civility" initiative. Through this initiative, we offer public programs that help us examine our collective understanding of civility and the relationship between our individual and institutional behavior and civic participation. Over the next year, we will be offering a series of public conversations about contemporary challenges in program settings that model and maintain civil discourse.
Our web site offers more details about the Choose Civility Initiative and additional programs.
I am writing to share information about our first public program, occurring on September 26th from 4pm - 6pm in Rines Auditorium and to ask you to consider saving December 4th, from 4pm-6pm for our second program, which will be on "Welcoming as a Civic Value." We would be very grateful if you would consider joining / inviting others via our Facebook Event page.
