Collective Action and Ambition: What is Community Building
Event Information
About this event
We are all members of different communities. But how do we know that we are part of any given community? What does it take for us to become a member? What do we need for us to feel a sense of belonging and safety to a group? And why even be a part of one?
In this panel, we gather this group of individuals, who are members of various different types of communities separately but share one in common: the Common Ground community.
We hear their take on community building work, the power of the collective in this new normal, and why more and more of us are turning towards community.
Session Type: Panel Discussion
Panel: Gena Tay, Lyna Lange, Shaina Yu
Moderator: Sivanesen Haridas
