Are you frustrated by current civic discourse? Be part of the solution and join us in exploring how we talk to, listen and hear one another. In partnership with CU’s BoulderTalks, the City of Boulder is collaborating with the community to encourage an atmosphere of productive dialogue.
The ideas generated on this site and through facilitated in-person workshops (see Key Dates) will inform a group of community volunteers who will synthesize the input and design ways to activate a new culture of civic interaction.
For more information and to read the ideas generated and participant feedback from the four meetings that have been held to date, please visit our Building Bridges webpage.
We hope you will get involved using one of the tools below! Comments on the Forum and the Tell Us More page will be moderated by the webmaster before posting. Moderation guidelines can be found here.
Our online forum facilitators from BoulderTalks will be joining the discussion at least once a day. This is a new tool for us, so don't be afraid to let us know how you think it is going.

I feel that the civic discourse is strong in the community I am in. While being part of the University and taking part in many groups and clubs, I often have a strong feeling of togetherness with my common citizens.

The Boulder community is an amazing community to be a part of. With various activities like hiking, walking the campus of the University of Colorado, and/ or shopping and dinning on Pearl Street.

Civic discourse is at its best when everyone is respectively listening to each other, even if there is a disagreement.

When I have had a good civic discourse I got to understand the other person's point of view even if I didn't personally agree with it. An example of a nonproductive civic discourse is when the other person and I just argue continuously and we both get offended. Ending with us both annoyed and unhappy.

Civic discourse is at its best when everyone is working together and things are progressing towards the goal at hand.
