What is Harborside Chats?
Harborside Chats is a series of guided dialogue sessions supported by dispute resolution specialists and trained community members. We’re bringing Grays Harbor County into one room with people trained to help others respectfully communicate.
What are we going to talk about?
Each session will be unique and based on the topics you propose. We will collaboratively come up with a list of topics that need action in our local community.If you’re curious to know what these sessions can look like, check out this video from our Executive Director.
What to expect at this session:
Harborside Chats is a unique blend of dialogue, community connection, and learning. While we have a structured moderated environment planned, we’re sure topics will arise organically.
Doors will open at 3:45 pm, join us for snacks, and connection time, get settled and we will begin the Chat promptly at 4 pm. Participants can expect to take part in an activity with a conversation partner followed by a facilitated round table style dialogue.
