Some of what we are doing is grassroots community-based, like our demonstration projects in Baltimore. Usually, there are many stakeholders from diverse backgrounds, all pulling in the same direction in terms of wanting kids to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives, but also with somewhat differing agendas: for example, the principal of a school’s ultimate goal is that his kids successfully graduate. ‘Building Bridges, Defining Metrics’ is an example of the multidisciplinary forums that we organise to look at sticky issues and come up with innovative answers. At this event, we brought people together and asked them to leave their name badges and titles at the door to create a safe and trusting space for open, honest discussion about challenges. At the same time, we looked for that spark of new ideas and solutions. By having a graphic artist there to capture these ah-ha moments, we were able to use visual arts to also facilitate the conversation and connect the dots. ‘Building Bridges, Defining Metrics’ culminated in a report (available on our website) with recommendations and strategies both on programme implementation and the types of research that would answer the questions that are meaningful to all involved.
