Grant Application Submitted to Meadowlark Institute for community dialogue on <br />interpersonal violence prevention: Civic Engagement Taskforce member Meagan Dushin has <br />worked with Chair Grefenberg to apply for a grant to fund a community dialogue over the course <br />of two half days. The proposal is to invite a group of representatives from our community <br />(including the School District, the Police Department, residents, etc.) to converse on their ideas <br />for violence prevention in the community. The group would then be invited to collaborate in <br />designing plans for action based on this dialogue. The grant application requested a professional <br />facilitator to lead the discussion in this community dialogue. (See Attachment for grant <br />materials) <br />II. Point of Information: Researching "Green Dot, Etc.": As their website claims, "Green Dot, <br />etc. provides training courses for both leadership and front-line professionals that focus on care <br />competency areas necessary for successful implementation of any program, such as: strategic <br />planning, bystander mobilization, persuasive communication, coalition building, etc" <br />(http: //www.livethegreendot. com/) <br />a. This program may be a resource for the community dialogue to consider, or for the HRC <br />to independently consider. <br />III. Program Planning Focus for the Year: The Program Planning Committee will focus its <br />planning for the year on three issues, though we anticipate "supporting" (though not sponsaring) <br />a fourth issue and certainly promoting other human rights programming in the community that is <br />called to our attention: <br />a. Violence Prevention — Sponsoring Programs/Events <br />b. Mental Illness Stigmatization — Sponsoring Programs/Events <br />c. Cultural Diversity — Sponsoring Program/Events <br />d. Gay Rights — Supporting Programming (sponsored by others) <br />e. Other human rights programs may be "promoted," over the course of the year, as called <br />to our attention. <br />• In planning programs and events, the mode of operation will be to include others in the planning <br />of events that directly impact them or their interests. <br />Program Planning Committee Report of January 16, 2013 <br />
