Pilot Project Aims to Build Community Resilience through Truth & Reconciliation

With the support of the Aspen Institute's Ascend Impact Fund, the Center for Community Resilience has joined forces with the Association of Children's Museums to lead a multi-disciplinary, multi-racial coalition in piloting a community-based Truth and Reconciliation process. The project aims to promote racial healing, fostering equity and building community resilience through policy change. The innovative approach will involve multiple generations in creative expression, oral storytelling and town hall discussions to create a shared understanding of the lived experience of racial trauma with critical examination of policies and practices that have driven inequitable outcomes for communities of color in the Greater Cincinnati region.
