What We Do
Listening Project
“Pioneered by Rural Southern Voice for Peace, the Listening Project is a unique approach to improving vulnerable neighborhoods. Rather than starting with the solutions of experts, inCOMMON turns to the people.” – Metro Neighborhood News
About
A Listening Project is a comprehensive process that includes “deep listening” interviews and community organizing that can result in cooperative community education and action on a wide range of issues and concerns. LPs are especially useful in communities where conflict, divisions or disempowerment weakens efforts for positive change. They can help organizations successfully address injustice, conflict, community development, health, environmental and others concerns (Taken from Rural Southern Voice for Peace).
Volunteer
Our project uses listening booths, listening circles and one-hour interviews that let neighbors express their thoughts and ideas, concerns, suggestions, and stories to an active listener.
- If you are interested in being a listener in the neighborhood we got you covered, every month we host a listening training at the Park Ave community center. Check the Community Calendar to find the next training.
