On The Table
On The Table is an initiative started by The Chicago Community Trust. On a single day individual hosts invite a small group of people (6-12) to a conversation over food. Hosts have included civic leaders and community organizations, but anyone can register to host, and who is invited is entirely up to the host. Ideally those invited do not know each other well except for their connection to the host. There is no agenda or pre-determined outcome of the conversation except to catalog what was discussed and what actions were suggested to address the concerns of participants. The results of the conversations are summarized and reported back to the community in a formal report. The Chicago Community Trust created and organized the first ''On the Table'' event in 2014 and since then more than 30 communities have held ''On the Table'' events. More than 250,000 people have participated. History The Chicago Community Trust held a series of “Chicago Dinners” in the late 1990s and e ...
