Cities of Purpose:  An Atlanta Dinner Party Experiment

Breaking bread around the dinner table has long been the birthplace of social change. Our goal is to have every resident of Atlanta meaningfully engaged in defining the purpose of Atlanta by 2020.  Over the course of spring 2014, in dining rooms, restaurants and public spaces across the city, we will spark and support a grassroots movement to gather around the dinner table and discuss the purpose of our home, our Atlanta.

Forge new relationships, unearth new insight and create new opportunities for genuine engagement as we work together to craft our city on purpose. An Atlanta unequivocally known for its inclusivity, vibrance & hope.
