The report is intended as a kind of decentralized conversation among those most involved, in the hope that people will find inspiration in each other's efforts and aspirations. We hope this report will contribute to an ongoing critical discourse that will help these programs serve the core values and aims of community cultural development.

The report includes a description of the field as context, remarks on CCD education, current perceptions of the field, challenges to an ideal curriculum, and participants' ideas of what is needed now. The report also contains a glossary of key terms and an extensive sampling of current courses and programs at higher educational institutions.
