Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Thirty writers of color and indigenous writers will share stories on a wide range of topics and issues within their communities and their personal lives through panel discussions and community conversations in public venues throughout the Twin Cities over the next year. Six hundred participants will engage in listening and lively conversation with writers who are exploring ideas that will deepen and expand their understanding of issues that impact communities of color and indigenous communities. Our evaluation methods will include participant counts (via requested RSVPs and head counts at the door), documentation of panel and audience interaction during discussions (video of events and also via note-taking), short audience surveys (possibly written, survey monkey, or show of hands), panel feedback (in-person or email conversation - looking for more depth than questionnaires can provide), and the qualitative discussion of the evaluation team itself - which includes a diversity of panel members, venue representatives, and audience participants (via audio recording and not-taking).

Measurable Outcome(s)

33 writers of color and indigenous writers shared stories on a wide range of topics within their communities and personal lives through community conversations in public venues throughout the Twin Cities. Approximately 400 participants engaged in lively conversation with writers, expanding their understanding of issues impacting communities of color and indigenous communities.
