Creative Community Conversation on Experiences of Immigration, A One-Action Project

One-Action Overview: One-Action is about creating a creative community conversation based on learning about our history, talking about present issues, and taking action to create a more inclusive Boulder County. The One-Action project reoccurs every three years. The One-Action project engages broad participation to stimulate cross-sector community conversation. In 2012 over 50 organizations and 18,000 people participated in the One-Action project. In 2012 the main focus of the project was on learning about Chief Niwot, the Sand Creek Massacre (see this 6 minute trailer for more info on One-Action/2012 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2bIblfYIJQ )

The 2016 One-Action project is focused on a Creative Community Conversation on Experiences of Immigration. We will encourage people across Boulder County to learn about the subject of immigration—past and present issues related to immigration. We are engaging a wide range of arts, cultural and immigrant-related organizations from across the county to participate in this exciting and important effort. As a result of this One-Action project, we envision hundreds of events, conversations, and actions taking place and resulting in Boulder County becoming more welcoming and inclusive.
