7 Maun Valley Citizens Listening Campaign
Key Terms A Listening Campaign is a focused effort to build community and identify concerns and priorities in a specific neighbourhood/workplace or organisation. Prejudice – an unfavourable opinion or feeling formed beforehand or without knowledge, thought, or reason. Discrimination - the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex Hate Crime - a crime motivated by racial, sexual, or other prejudice, typically one involving violence Last year after carrying out research the Maun Valley team recognised a need for a greater focus on discrimination and prejudice within our community. This now leads to our listening campaign.
