Middletown Community Coversations, Sample Questions and Response Form

Middletown Community Conversations

Sample Questions and Response Form

Several groups have asked for example facilitating questions with which to start their community conversations as well as an example of a response form to report out their conversation results.

Sample Questions

The following are two sets of three questions we found helpful.

What important issue or idea was brought to mind by the Inaugural Address?
What can we, as a community, do about it?
What can you as an individual do about it? If “yes we can”, then what will I do?
Related to what will “I do”, what can we do together?
What resources do we need to make this happen?

Conversation Reporting Form

If you do not use this form, when you report back, please be sure to include:

group/organization involved
location
date
time
number of participants.

This information should be forwarded to Justin Carbonella at either his e‐mail address:
