One week from tomorrow Living City Brooklyn will be hosting our first Community Innovation Workshop. For the past month staff and interns have been counting down the days in preparation of this event. Finding a location, refreshments, and designing flyers and post cards were all components; however, the most important part of this whole process was inviting speakers that Living City Brooklyn felt were the most engaging and relevant to the Gowanus neighborhood. So we scoured the country looking for individuals who were experts in their field and dynamic and engaging public speakers. This week, blog posts are dedicated to these extraordinary people that we’ve invited to present and lead discussions with the Gowanus community. Now its time for the guessing game to begin, the rules of the game are simple and all you will need is your thinking cap and possibly a web tab to google for instant capability.
