Are you someone actively involved in your community? Do you identify as a community leader? Would you like to understand your level of engagement with your community? Are you involved in promoting well-being for your community? Are you interested in exploring displacement in community settings? Do you consider yourself as a change-maker in your community? 
Art Sense Studio, Skaped and JC Candanedo welcome you to join us and explore what it means to belong to a community in the present social, political climate. Our facilitators will guide you to work and reflect on themes like displacement and a sense of belonging. This workshop is an invitation to delve into our commonalities. We want participants to expand on what kind of relationships they have been building up and sustaining with the communities around them.
Do we feel like we belong to any of them? 
We aim to provide a welcoming space to explore these themes in an honest, friendly and supportive way.
The workshop consists of a variety of group dynamics and short exercises to support and to facilitate participants engagement. We intend to instigate people to think about the way social issues impact our lives and communities.
 
Hope to see you there!

FAQs
 
How to find the venue?
Closest DLR Stop is East India. When you get to East India DLR (East not West!) instead of going down to street level, cross the footpath to the other side of the highway. And turn right following the sign that says Republic. There are maps all over signalling where is the Import Building. Let me know when you are close and I will meet you down at reception :)
