Building strong communities means finding ways to work together, even when we disagree. This event explores how mutual understanding and shared respect for one another can rebuild trust, strengthen connections, and keep us engaged in community life.

Through this session, participants will reflect on how to:

• Connect across differences to strengthen communities
• Participate in conversations with openness and respect, even when they disagree
• Build everyday trust and connection in their community
