Assignment:

I've decided that your alternate assignment will be on Civic Engagement, which is the other topic I sometimes give as the semester project. Community Boards are the connection between communities and local government and can greatly impact community change. Recent activity in Community Board 11 East Harlem: Land Use, Rezoning, Neighborhood Improvements and Housing are all hotly debated topics. Here is the CBII Meeting Calendar -

You'll also find information on the site to help you understand more about the community and the boards' current and former issues.

The Project:

You will view at least 3 community board meetings on line between now and April 18th

a. Identify the issue, stakeholders, the position the stakeholders hold

b. Are the proceedings more or less formal than what you expected? What else is noteworthy about the Community Board structure?

b. How do the Committee Members/ Chairs/Moderators conduct themselves? Do you notice the tenets of procedural justice present: Respect, Understanding, Neutrality, Voice, Respect?

c. How do any of the 6 elements of civic engagement show up in the process?

1. Embracing the Gifts of Diversity

2. Realizing the Role of Race, Power, and Injustice

3. Radical Hospitality: Invitation and Listening

4. Trust-Building and Commitment

5. Honoring Dissent and Embracing Protest

6. Adaptability to Community Change

d. Did you witness behaviors that reflect the 3 Systems of Trust ( Relational, Functional, Flow of Trust). What were they? Were they reinforced or was there a breakdown of trust?

e. How did the meeting close and what were the proposed next steps or resolution

f. What was your impression of what you saw? How did it support your understanding of the 7 C' s of Social Change: Consciousness of Self, Congruence, Commitment, Collaboration, Controversy with Civility, Common Purpose & Community Change.

You'll summarize this information for each board meeting and create a presentation.
