Kitchen Table Conversations (KTCs)

A conversation between the locals of Banks about things that matter

A Kitchen Table Conversation (KTC) is a simple and powerful way for people to speak about what matters to them in a safe and comfortable environment.

Each participant gets to respond to 10 questions around the themes of community, issues and concerns and political representation. Responses will be collated anonymously and integrated into the final report and shared with our political representatives as well as candidates in upcoming elections.

We will be conducting KTCs in the community of Banks from August 2024 to the end of January 2025.  Its a fun way to connect with people in the community and hear about what matters most to us.

Why join a Kitchen Table Conversation?

It’s important that our political representatives get to hear from voices in our community about what matters to us and what we expect from them as our representatives. That’s when democracy works best.

Why not host your own Kitchen Table Conversation?

Bring together a small group of between 4 and 8 friends, neighbours, family, workmates or people you know from community networks and host a KTC. Meet at home, a café or wherever is easiest so long as it’s quiet enough for everyone to be heard easily. We’ll provide a facilitator to help guide discussions and capture the details of the discussion.

Hosting a KTC helps us reach more people quickly. But if hosting a KTC is not your thing, you can still join a KTC either in person or on Zoom.
