PLACE IT! Workshop with CNU DC

James Rojas from PLACE IT! will be in Washington DC doing a book talk and hands-on workshop on how to engage immigrants in urban planning and civic discourse on Thu. June 29, 2023 from 6-8 pm.

Come for the evening session to learn the power of hands-on, non-verbal community engagement. James Rojas developed this approach when he worked at LA Metro planning for the eastside Gold line. Many Latinos would not speak up so he decided to bring objects and let them build. By tapping into creativity, Rojas found that communities expressed so much information. James authored Dream, Play Build. 

That was 15 years ago. Over 1,500 workshops across the US later, it has become a national model for community engagement.  

Light refreshments will be provided at Torti Gallas. If you are planning to attend in person, please register here!
