Discussion ‘Community: from disagreement to common action’
How can we bring people together around their differences? Let us explore during a 90-minute discussion.
We will look at how to build trust, find common ground through shared values, spaces or initiatives, and sustain the long-term impact of cultural projects on community life.
Join us to share your thoughts and learn from others’ experiences.
