About this Event

Raleigh Talks — the City Listens: Creating Community Cohesion


Join us on Friday, February 20th at 9am at A Place at the Table for a one-hour activity with the City of Raleigh staff.


Raleigh City employees are coming together from across departments to learn and practice public innovation to solve real challenges facing the city. The focus of this project is about building community cohesion.


We want to hear from you, Raleigh residents, about your experience building new friendships through the activities in your community.


How does it work?

Arrive at 9am and get paired up with a Raleigh employee. They will ask you questions about your experience meeting new people. There is nothing you need to prepare, just an openness to share your experiences. As a thank you for your time, we will provide you with a $25 gift card.


Who can attend?

Our focus is learning how people create a sense of belonging and connection within Raleigh. We’d like to talk to anyone who will share their stories about how they are expanding their social circle.


What else should I know?

All participants need to arrive at 9am and stay until 10am in order to receive a gift card. We will also provide coffee and pastries from A Place at the Table.


Parking

There is paid street parking and a paid gravel parking lot across the street from the cafe. There are also 5 free 2-hour parking decks in Downtown Raleigh. The Municipal Lot is closest to Table. For more info about the decks: https://raleighnc.gov/parking/services/two-hour-parking-downtown-raleigh


Spots are limited so if you do not arrive by 9am, we cannot guarentee participation. If you can no longer make it, cancel your ticket or send us an email at [email protected] and we will open that spot up for someone else. Thanks!
