Last year, Indianapolis was one of several U.S. cities selected to host a dialogue series aimed at improving civic relationships. WFYI’s Taylor Bennett spoke with Spirit and Place  program director Erin Kelley about Civic Saturday discussions and how strangers are coming together to nurture civic spirit.

The next Civic Saturday discussion in Indianapolis is Saturday, July 20 at Central Library.
