Community Engagement is considered to be the cornerstone of Community Development. However our efforts often fail to allow residents and stakeholders to truly have an impact on the decisions that are shaping their communities. The Detroit CDS Community Engagement Fellows will share tools and strategies to promote resident-driven decision making.
A set of 14 videos displaying each of the seven Community Capitals Framework capitals in two communities were developed for classroom use. A presentation about the development and use of these videos will serve as a springboard to discuss new methods and technologies for community development education and practice.
