About the event
What is a Build Session?
A Build Session is an interactive workshop designed to brainstorm, prioritize, and build solutions. Some refer to sessions like these as “working sessions” or “focus groups.” We call them Build Sessions to emphasize the focus on moving past talking about opportunities or issues and toward building actions. Through this process, we engage stakeholders who know the issues best and are likely to be involved in implementation. This is key to developing realistic actions and gaining buy-in from key stakeholders.
What to Expect?
The build session centers around facilitated brainstorming, followed by organizing ideas and defining potential partners and desired outcomes. Participants will have the opportunity to choose from a series of topics, such as addressing homelessness in Lorain or increasing availability of affordable housing. Relevant data and information will be presented to inform conversation, and facilitators will be on-hand in case conversation stalls or more information is needed. You needn't be an expert in the topic of your choice - but be prepared to share from your experience to help us build strategies that will resonate with the community.
