This Listening Session is an opportunity for our neighbors in southeastern Minnesotans and the Winona area to leave the tiresome outrage and unhealthy division behind.

We’re seeking residents in this area from different backgrounds, experiences, and viewpoints to speak honestly about what matters to them as neighbors and to listen to others. In this structured conversation, we will explore what actions we could take together to strengthen civic trust and solve challenges for the common good.

Co-sponsored by Engage Winona, this Listening Session is one in a series that will be held around the state for a new statewide project, Minnesota: Land of Neighbors. Land of Neighbors is aimed at combating unhealthy divisiveness in Minnesota. Organized by Braver Angels Minnesota, Civic Bridgers, and Common Ground USA, the campaign is funded by a group of Minnesota foundations.

Land of Neighbors is proud to partner with Engage Winona on this event. Engage Winona cultivates stronger communities in southeast Minnesota by reigniting community participation through dialogue, support, and training. Their programs bring people together, spark ideas, and cultivate the conditions for a community where we all belong, connect, and contribute.
