The Big Table: Hearing the Voices of Our Families

FACCES Families & Community Conversation!

On September 25, 2024, FACCES hosted a Big Table discussion sponsored by the Columbus Foundation.  This community-wide day of conversation empowers residents to discuss issues important to them.

Community members gathered around the FACCES Big Table to discuss the Future of Education providing everyone with an opportunity to reflect on the ever-changing landscape of education.

There were diverse voices at the table which provided unique perspectives enabling everyone to authentically share their personal feelings, ideas, beliefs, and solutions.  An overarching theme was how important relationships are between all those in a community, families and school personnel in promoting good outcomes for children and youth.  Many commented that what we were doing “having a conversation and really listening to one another” is something we don’t do enough off.

Thank you to all who participated in this important discussion; we look forward to using your feedback to foster meaningful change.

If you haven’t already, we invite you to take our quick five-question survey to help FACCES continue to better understand and serve families in our community!
