Opera companies have a role to play in addressing their communities’ most complex problems. Learn how the collective impact model, which brings cross-sector partners together to create social change, has been applied in Dallas to address the biggest problem facing education today — the opportunity gap. Dallas-based Big Thought, one of the nation’s leading nonprofits focused on building partnerships, will offer insights on collaborations that expand equitable access to programs that ignite the imagination in every child. Participants will explore strategies to engage partners from multiple sectors of their community and discover practical approaches to collaborative fundraising, resource-sharing and communications.
