The Dilemmas Project<\/a>, a multi-media platform for engaging citizen participation around the ongoing dilemmas ordinary people are facing every day.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Per Chip, \u201cThis is just our form of creating a dialogue to find solutions. <\/span>We don\u2019t want to be judge and jury, we simply want the story to be told. We create opportunities that enable storytelling by others on the dilemmas they face in these changing times.\u201d<\/p>\nBesides being a forum for input, they also tackle storylines that they feel aren\u2019t being told. <\/span>Right now Chip and his team are out interviewing Mayors of small to mid-size towns to understand the problems they are facing and the choices they are making to navigate their communities towards survival. We read the news, we hear a sampling of individual tales but…<\/span>\u201cWhen you assemble an abundance of these perspectives, it give you pause to reflect on the nature of the problem,\u201d notes Rees. \u00a0These are stories that are affecting our lives and communities.\u00a0 We see and hear the outcomes but we are not engaged in the nature of the problem itself which minimizes our opportunity to change things at their root level.<\/p>\nThese days, we are all faced with daily dilemmas.\u00a0 Each one inter-connected to the dilemmas others are facing. Witness is looking for guest writers and storytellers. \u00a0If you have a dilemma or point of view to share, contact Chip at chip@thedilemmasproject.com, maybe your story will inspire change.<\/p>\n
