Community Culture and Environment: A Guide to Understanding a Sense of Place (formerly Community Cultural Profiling Guide) (Part 2 of 2)
Presented by: Theresa Trainor, Office of Water, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

This session reviews tools for defining “community,” understanding cultural diversity, and for creatively engaging community members in environmental protection efforts. The session will provide interactive, experiential training with the tools, and discuss case study examples and how participants can use the tools in their own settings. The training will include defining community, social mapping, question design and interviewing, and/or visual methods. This training has proven very useful for thinking “outside-of-the-box” about community and for identifying strategies for working with communities.
