Process / Event
B uilding up a Good Place is more of a process than an event.
Events can serve the process, but they don’t tend to accomplish much just on their own. On their own, events usually don’t change any of the conditions that keep our places from being as good as they can be. Events draw attention to issues. Events can lead people to become involved in processes that actually change people’s lives and the community’s conditions. If there are no processes that lead to real change in the community then events lose much of their potential value. An event could possibly lead to the beginning of an on-going process.
Discussion Question
