CRAFT model: Contact

The first step in the CRAFT model is Contact: cultivating trust, mutual understanding and commitment as a foundation for creative partnership.

I think our community garden/commons group have been continuing to establish communication and mutual understanding with everyone involved in our project. So far, we have met with some members of the library board and others (like Jack Holder, master gardener) twice. We are trying to keep the communication line open through emails in between meetings. Last week, we also met with principals of both the high school and middle school at Mart. We will be trying to join with the high school students on Monday and cultivate contact with them for our project. We are very excited to do this! Will keep you posted on future developments!
