Reimagining the spaces that bring us together
How do the places where we gather shape how we connect? From housing to green spaces, public libraries to digital forums, the environments around us play a vital role in fostering belonging and community.
At The Walrus Talks at Home: Place and Belonging, four expert speakers will share their unique perspectives on how the spaces we design and invest in can strengthen our social fabric. In this virtual talk, we’ll explore the challenges and rewards of creating and sustaining “third spaces” (social environments outside of home and work), and consider the responsibility to create places that connect us and serve our communities.
Join us online on November 4 for an evening of ideas and inspiration about how environments we create today can give a shared sense of belonging for generations to come.
Speakers to be announced.
