Cities, counties and regions across Indiana are encouraged to apply for a facilitated workshop in their community that could help them better understand their past and prepare for Indiana’s Bicentennial.

The Bowen Center for Public Affairs at Ball State University, Indiana Humanities and the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs will offer Community Conversations designed to help communities tackle challenging issues.

The focus of this year’s Community Conversation series will be Bicentennial 2016: The Next Indiana.

The 2014 deadline to apply is Aug. 15.

If selected, communities will develop a local steering committee and meet with Indiana Humanities and the Bowen Center for Public Affairs to create a customized program to take place in the fall of 2014 or the spring of 2015. A dozen statewide organizations also provide resources to the program.

Those interested must submit a proposal to Susan Gerard at sgerard@bsu.edu.
