What do people value and what are the challenges in creating a sense of belonging and community?

In the latest issue of #ChangingPopulations, we report on two projects that explore #community resilience and cohesion: one based on fieldwork in #Stobswell, a neighbourhood of #Dundee, #Scotland, and one that uses innovative #digitaltools to collect large-scale public data on #social cohesion, trust, #belonging, and #community life across #Britain.

Is this what scares them? To acknowledge that I may be a species apart from H. sapiens which removes from their narrative the biological and identity spheres, and places me on the moral ground that guarantees the right to life to all species?

Interesting episode: "This is the psychology of how shows about the British class system became comfort viewing for the people it should enrage. And how we fall in love with the Myths of the Super Rich today."

With interesting information on the author of Downtown Abby in the replies (he did write it like this on purpose).

CW: contains one shot of a deceased baboon in the last part, but not gory.

Might be a bit superficial for people who are more informed on the subject, at least that's my experience with some episodes.

I've been kicking around the idea of a community built around belonging, curiosity, service, and genuine connection. A place where people can gather regularly, hear someone's story or learn something new, have thoughtful conversations over coffee, and build real friendships. Then once a month, instead of just talking about making our community better, we'd go volunteer or work on a local service project together.

Not a church. Not an anti-church. Not a political group.

Just neighbors creating the kind of community many of us wish we had.

Being based in Liberty, MO I've been calling the idea "Liberty Circle" because I love the symbolism of the circle. No one at the head. No one left outside. Just people coming together, making room for one another, and growing together.

Has anyone here been part of something like this? I'd love to hear what worked, what didn't, and what made people keep coming back.

A body learning to walk without armour begins noticing things certainty tended to hurry past, until even the unfamiliar starts feeling less like a threat than an invitation to pay closer attention.

After travelling to more than 150 countries, where does Musimbi Kanyoro feel she belongs most?🤍

In this teaser from E12 of Belonging, Musimbi reflects on how belonging isn't always tied to a place on a map. She shares that it's the people she connects with who make a place feel like home.

A beautiful reminder that belonging can be found in human connection, wherever we are.
