The North Central Region Extension Community Development Program Leaders (representing twelve states) are exploring the possibility of adapting the HCI program for implementation in the North Central states having an interest in the focus and topics included in HCI. The roundtable session at CDS offers a unique and valuable opportunity to hear from a wide array of community development researchers and practitioners. Their input will help determine if there is an interest in making HCI available to more states and expanding its building block offerings. CDS members will be kept informed through Vanguard, emails, social media channels, etc. In addition, members will be kept informed of train-the-trainer HCI workshops if the response from participants is positive and they have interest in expanding the HCI program to other communities in the U.S.
Unlike social and economic equity, native equity is not considered in community development projects. Native equity is when the professional team that is designing or planning the development is inclusive of native residents from the targeted area. The question for community development practitioners is does native equity matter in redevelopment.
Community resilience is a framework for understanding the capacity to absorb, mitigate, and transform shocks and stresses. Building and enhancing these capacities, accounting for local context, is essential to sustainable equitable development. This roundtable will review community resilience research and engage participants to provide input for connecting scholarship and practice.
The room set-up will be the primary constraint to meaningful participation. We will need to have participants at roundtables for discussion in groups of about six.
Digital inclusion is vital to promoting community growth. Often, though, the information needed to identify gaps is lacking at a local level, and the benefits of improving digital literacy are difficult to define, let alone measure. We will discuss how to make digital inclusion part of your successful planning efforts.
