What
is the Community Gathering Center
idea?
The need for the Center was identified
through visionPDX and the City’s Immigrant
and Refugee Task Force. As imagined,
the Center would be a place for Portland's
diverse communities to gather, interact
and communicate.Providing a space
for cross cultural collaboration,
community organizing and leadership
development were also commonly expressed
interests.
What
are the World Cafés?
The WORLD CAFÉS will provide
a chance for Portlanders from different
cultural backgrounds to explore how
a new Community Gathering Center could
benefit the entire community. They
allow for small group discussions,
creative thinking and artistic expression
through drawing.
