This fall, the Office of the Mayor will be coordinating New Haven’s ninth- Democracy School – a six session course aimed at introducing residents to their local government. Residents will get to talk to key administrators and decision-makers in city government and local politics. City officials will talk about their work and lead question and answer sessions aimed at fostering open lines of communication, enabling participants to take full advantage of city resources, and empowering residents to become community leaders.
Democracy School meets every Thursday from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at interesting locations across the City for six weeks. The Fall 2010 Session will begin Thursday, September 2nd and end Thursday, October 7.
