January 16, 2013 Item 6 Program Planning Report and Attachments ATTACHMENT # 3 TO PROGRAM PLANNING COMMITTEE REPORT Roseville Community Dialogues on Interpersonal Violence and its Prevention Project Narrative We propose two half-day community dialogues in Roseville, MN on the topic of interpersonal violence – ranging from playground bullying to more harmful criminal acts – and its prevention. The goals of the events are to bring the Roseville community together to a) examine the complex factors that contribute to violence, and b) identify what we, as individuals and as a community, can do to help prevent violence. As a topical framework, we are using the Global Campaign for Violence Prevention's definition of interpersonal violence: the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against anotherperson that either results in o� has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, inaldevelopment, o� dep�ivation. Expected Outcomes The expected outcomes of these two dialogues are as follows: 1. An article written on the InCommons website blog describing the event and its outcomes, 2. A summary report shared with the Human Rights Commission and Roseville City Council 3. A discussion of the implications and next steps at a future Human Rights Commission meeting and possibly also with the City Council 4. A video, developed with the assistance of the North Suburban CTV, that is aired on the local government channel and made available for loan through the Ramsey County Library and Roseville City Hall 5. A renewed community spirit among participants with interest in preventing violence in their own homes, neighborhoods, schools, and broader communities Budget and Use of Funds We are requesting $3,500 to — 1. work with Art of Hosting facilitator Ariella Tilsen to help develop and plan, and to facilitate these two community dialogues ($1,000); 2. hire an administrative consultant to coordinate the events ($500); 3. pay for printing, mailing, and promoting these events ($500); 4. rent film equipment and hire North Suburban CTV staff to edit a short film documenting the event ($1,000); and 5. serve light refreshments for dialogue participants ($500). Roseville city staff and community volunteers, including commission members, will contribute a significant amount of time coordinating the events, as well. Linkage with InCommons' Mission We expect the participatory emphasis of InCommons is in alignment with this topical conversation and will lend an effective methodology to the process. We are hopeful that if we examine this topic together, sharing stories and perspectives using the InCommons tools available to our facilitator, we can help turn the challenges of interpersonal violence into opportunities for building healthier �ommup�t�es.
