Good questions to gather new people at a community fun day


ABCD - Getting Started/Challenges


Hi everyone,

This is my first post. How exciting. I head up a team of Community Development workers in Bristol, England. We have a fun day planned tomorrow in an inner city area - bringing together people from the Somali Communities and the more established community members.

We have helped organise the fun day with local people, but are very aware that our function is not just about people having a good time (although that will be a fantastic by-product) - but in using the opportunity to build the community. We'd like to ask some questions to gather info on people's hopes and dreams.... BUT! We don't want to be full-on or formal.

Any ideas of good opening questions where we can gather information - make connections but without being too "local authority".

Thanks all in advance

Heather
