Drawing on insights from around the world from peacebuilding in Kenya to community organising in Chicago, participants will explore what really works to build strong and equitable communities.The workshop is also part of a major city-wide community engagement programme commissioned by One Stoke-on-Trent. As part of this listening exercise, Protection Approaches is gathering views and lived experiences from people across the city. These sessions are a chance to hear directly from participants about both the challenges facing their communities and what’s already working well. This insight will help build on local strengths and shape meaningful, lasting change.
