This word is from the movie The Best of Enemies.
1. charrette – In the movie, a KKK leader and a black activist clashed over integration. Rather than rule on it, a local judge ordered the city council to conduct a charrette, something I’d never heard of.
A charrette is a meeting in which all stakeholders in a project attempt to resolve conflicts and map solutions.

This is a word that should be shared. I can see why it is not common in today’s America. But it should be.
I knew that from seeing the movie. And, yet, somehow, I forgot it!

Nice sounding word with a good meaning. It sounds French.

I think a few of our politicians need to have some charrettes!
