Focus Group: Discussing Multi-culturalism, Inter-generationalism, and Social Justice

On March 29th, we had the pleasure of gathering with some organizations in City Heights to discuss themes such as:

1. Multi-culturalism
2. Inter-generationalism
3. Promoting social justice through the media arts

Little Saigon Foundation tells us a little about what their organization does :)

City Heights CDC gives us a visual display of their goals.

Latino Youth Council tells us about the active work that they do with their members.

Midcity CAN tells us about their vision for the future.

We were very excited to get these group together and start interacting! :) We were very jittery as the date got closer and all of our plans started falling into place. The staff was very happy when the participants were so responsive!

The input that was brought to the focus group was very informative. There was great interaction between the older and younger generations that were present, as well as great responses to the questions that were posed. Over all, the discussions that took place at the focus group gave all of us here at Connect SD, a look into the bigger picture. The bigger picture on what the community in City Heights wish for the future and the different issues that they want to address.

We are so excited for the next focus group in May and what the new group of City Heights organizations will bring to the table! :)
