What does Topic Presentation & Response look like?
Part 1:
A voter will make a short presentation on a specific topic for 3-4 minutes. Topics: Housing, Childcare, Transportation, and Mental Health
After each topic presentation, five candidates will be allowed to respond to the specific topic for 90 seconds. Candidates will indicate which topic they wish to address when they RSVP. Topic response spots will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis and be limited to 5 responses.
Part 2:
After topic presentations, questions from the audience will be taken. Candidates are encouraged to respond.
Part 3:
Candidates will then have one-on-one time to meet with voters.
Any questions, please forward to jodybigview@gmail.com.
Participants will take on the identity of someone and will work together with their family to live a month in poverty. Your simulated "community" is a large room. You and your neighbors' "homes" are chairs. The services you need - banks, schools and grocery stores - are tables in the room. Available for groups up to 80.
