About this service
This project helps local communities have better conversations about important problems they face together. It brings together journalists, college teachers, and community groups to create news stories that help people talk through difficult topics instead of just arguing. The project teaches people how to discuss issues in a respectful way that leads to solutions. They work with local newspapers, radio stations, libraries, and other groups to make these conversations happen in Northern Colorado.
