Laurie and Robert Benn of the Positive Culture Company were asked to help a group of concerned citizens in Lethbridge Alberta to develop a common understanding of what needed to be done to protect the community from the adverse affects of Crystal Meth and other Drug use. Rob and Laurie pre-built a large information mural to illustrate the work that had been done so far toward the project.

Once everyone was up-to-speed Laurie and Rob used world cafe conversation processes to facilitate discussion on the topic and help the group formulate a plan of action. All graphics were photographed and the information was consolidated in a report of the days progress. The introduction mural was laminated (to protect it) and is being used to assist program coordinators to explain the program to other Stakeholders and Funders in the community.
