Is your library the place for community conversations? The Nebraska Humanities Council (NHC) has launched a new program to promote civil discussion in our communities. The program, which offers structure and funding, is available to any nonprofit or governmental organization—with a special invitation to Nebraska’s libraries, which we know would be great hosts for community conversations. The new program has been developed in response to the call for more civility and dialogue in community life. “NebraskaConversations: A Guide for Civil Discussion” is designed to provide Nebraska communities with a structure and funding to create safe, comfortable and reflective environments for discussion of any important issue.
NHC invites nonprofit and governmental groups to apply. Eligible organizations include schools, libraries, museums, civic groups, service clubs, tribal organizations, educational institutions and local governments.
NHC will provide funding for facilitation, presenters, meeting space and materials, and refreshments.
NOTE: Organizations are strongly urged to submit a proposal form at least 60 days before the proposed meeting date.
