What makes a neighbourhood feel like a community?

What makes a neighbourhood feel like a community?

This Loops of Learning conversation is about social connection and everyday belonging, which become more and more important during these times. AI continues to pose opportunity and threat in this space and our ability to find social connection and common ground has never been more important. The sight of a familiar face. A conversation that goes beyond "Hello", and most importantly people who notice when you're not around.

What turns living near each other into feeling connected?

Join Loops of Learning to explore the places, habits and relationships that help a community grow and the pressures and unwritten rules that can get in the way. Who finds it easy to connect? Who gets left out? And whose responsibility is it to create the conditions for community that is NOT divisive!

Through shared experiences, thoughtful questions and a little imagination, we’ll explore what stronger social connection could look like in our neighbourhoods.

Come on your own or bring someone along. No specialist knowledge needed just curiosity and a willingness to listen, question and imagine together.
