WHAT IS BRIDGE BUILDING?“Bridge building” work increases our individual and collective capacity to resolve conflict, work across differences, and lead empathically and effectively. This capacity is central to a healthy city and civil society. “Bridge builders” have training and expertise in conflict resolution, communication across differences, facilitation, and models of deliberative and collective decision-making.
PURPOSE OF THIS SURVEYThis survey is designed to identify the organizations, initiatives, and individuals engaged in bridge-building in Los Angeles. The bridge building map will allow the collective, funders, politicians, community organizations, and other leaders to understand the state of the field as it stands in LA, to identify gaps in the field, and to more easily locate bridging resources (e.g. facilitators).
WHAT TO EXPECT
