MARQUETTE — During a one-hour conversation set for next week, people who spend time in Marquette have the opportunity to share their experiences, challenges, and ideas as it relates to inclusivity and belonging in Marquette, as well as the direction in which our community is moving forward related to these topics.

The event will be held in the Peter White Library Community Room at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Come and join in on the conversation or simply listen to what others have to say.

This will be a welcoming environment where everyone participating will be treated with respect and understanding, organizers said.

In the event of inclement weather, the session will be rescheduled at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 10. The location, if rescheduled, is the Marquette Arts and Culture Center located on the lower level of the Peter White Public library.

Check the Marquette Compass website for cancellation and rescheduling information.

This is a free event and no RSVP is required. Invite friends, family, and neighbors to join in on the conversation.

This event is hosted by the city of Marquette Office of Arts and Culture and Innovate Marquette SmartZone.

This event is part of a broader initiative aimed at understanding perceptions of Marquette.

The goal is to create a more welcoming and inclusive environment for both current residents and those who may join us in the future.
