24. Welcome to MAH’s
C3: Creative Community Committee
We’re revitalizing our community programs
at the MAH and are aiming this year to
have stronger community engagement in
our programs.
In order to do this we need your help in
establishing what our community’s needs
are and how we can help meet them.

25. BE OPEN TO THE
POSSIBILITIES

27. FIVE KINDS OF
PARTNERS

34. WORKSHOP

35. WORKSHOP

36. WORKSHOP
1. Pick a community of interest -
“almost comes” whom you would like
to engage.
These communities can be defined by
any shared characteristics: geography,
social networks, locality, common
interests, cultures, etc.

37. WORKSHOP
2. Discuss what you perceive to be
this community’s greatest needs and
assets as they relate to cultural,
recreational, social, or learning
experiences.

38. WORKSHOP
3. Based on the needs and assets you
defined, brainstorm and share
potential projects and collaborators
that could help you fulfill needs/build
on assets.
Make sure you are working from the
defined community assets/needs
and not from your own.
