WahlheYmat Talks - Communities shape cities

WahlheYmat Talks - Communities shape cities Building belonging across cultures and communities How do strong communities emerge? What brings people from different backgrounds together and what keeps them together? Berlin is one of the most diverse cities in Europe, shaped by people with different languages, cultures, experiences and stories. But diversity alone does not create community. It takes trust, connection, participation and spaces where people can meet and feel that they belong. At the first WahlheYmat Talks after the summer break we invite Berlin community builders to explore what makes communities thrive: How can we create meaningful connections across different backgrounds? What turns a group of people into a community? What can communities contribute to a more inclusive and democratic city? And what can each of us do to help build stronger communities in Berlin? Our guests: Monika Jiang – Writer and Community Builder, The Oneliness Project Sage E. Brewer – Founder, Health, Tech, Psych Network – Berlin Rüzgar Imski – Coordination Systems Designer, Free Association Coalition As always, WahlheYmat Talks is not just a panel discussion. We want to hear from you, too. Bring your experiences, ideas and questions and join the conversation. The event will be held in English. Entry is free. Everyone who is interested in shaping Berlin and making the city even better is warmly welcome.DIVERSE VOICES TELL THE COMPLETE TRUTHWith the kind support of the Central and Regional Library of Berlin (ZLB).Gefördert aus Mitteln der Senatsverwaltung für Arbeit, Soziales, Gleichstellung, Integration, Vielfalt und Antidiskriminierung im Rahmen des Partizipations- und Integrationsprogramms.
