Community

The workshop on community will include discussion and activities to help attendees gain awareness on barriers to building community and specific ideas on how to overcome those. One activity will include looking at a list of basic human needs and identifying which ones are currently going unmet in participant’s lives. Then how to address that in relationship with others in their community. We will also use this activity as a tool to understand how important community is for human thriving and well-being. And how participants can help meet others needs in their communities as well.
Another activity will include taking a survey made by Dr. Marisa Franco assessing strengths and weaknesses in friendship. This assessment will help participants see how they could improve in being a better friend to those they already have and in making new friends in their community. We will then do further training on areas participants have the most questions about.
