  • Overview:
    • We increasingly hear the message that working with communities requires trust. Do you find yourself wondering, what does trust mean? What does trust look like? How do we build trust, or better yet, how do we work through distrust with partners? Join us for reflection and peer-to-peer sharing to build our collective knowledge of what trusting relationships with communities truly look like. If you have expertise to share or are just starting to think about this kind of work, we want you to be part of the conversation.
    • “Let’s Talk About Trust” is a collaborative learning workshop. It includes a combination of group discussion, partnered activities, and individual reflection. We explore existing resources on trust, discuss key concepts among peers, and identify successful strategies to overcome challenges.
  • Learning Objectives:
    • Explore trust and its three key elements
    • Share ideas for how to build and maintain trust in professional relationships
    • Examine local stories on building trust with communities
    • Discuss special considerations for communities where trust has been broken
    • Identify strategies to effectively engage with communities with a history of harm
  • Participant requirements:
    • Commitment to fully attend and interact with other participants
    • Open mindset and willingness to contribute
