After many weeks of meetings, we have gathered a great team of people and organizations to help on the Rural Urban Partnering project, including the good folks at MinnPost.com, the University of Minnesota Morris Center for Small Towns, the K-12 Interactive Television (ITV) regional coordinators, Governor’s Workforce Development Council, Minnesota Workforce Council Association, the Minnesota Learning Commons, the Regional Sustainable Development Partnerships, and the Healthy Foods, Healthy Lives Institute.
Look to this spot for the schedule of videoconferences and webinars starting in January 2010 (and running through May 2010), where YOUR presence and wisdom will be most appreciated to share stories of rural urban connections in your life and in your work. Also be thinking if you would like to be more deeply involved in this project as a member of the advisory group.
We are scheduling 2 videoconferences every other week, interspersed with a webinar on the alternating week, to give as much access as possible across Minnesota.
In the meantime, join in on this blog if you want to help think/write through topics related to rural-urban connections.
