Community Conversations Project: Building Inclusive Communities in New Hampshire

Facilitating courageous conversations where every voice is valued.

Zerwa Consulting serves as facilitator for the Community Conversations project, an inspiring multi-session initiative organized by New Hampshire Humanities (NHH) and the Community Development Finance Authority (CDFA). Residents from across New Hampshire come together to explore the meaning of "community" and what makes communities inclusive, vibrant, and resilient.

Across several sessions from Whitefield to Nashua, Harrisville to Portsmouth, facilitated conversations bring together people with diverse backgrounds, stories, concerns, and hopes. These dialogues create safe spaces where every voice can be heard and every experience valued.
