Lightning Talks “By the People: Success Stories in Community Building”

Re-introducing the “Lightning Talks” series reshaped for today. In recognition of what today is like, we are putting effort back into our communities to go grassroots and build genuine connections. The political climate may feel like you can’t do anything, but it’s not true. Our first “Lightning Talks” event will be addressing the question, “What does success in community building look like?” These ultra-quick and diverse 2-5 minute presentations explore local examples of successful community building from the Baltimore County and Baltimore City area.

These speakers are organizers, advocates, creatives, teachers, and so many other backgrounds that have found their way to building community and connection. Through their highlights, big mistakes, and advice you can explore some of the ways successful community building looks, even now. Come learn and share with us so we can all leave with a little more to explore.

We hope you leave this event feeling inspired to contribute, support each other in the community, and form your programs for community building.

This is the first of many themed talks so subscribe for updates on events and supporting The Co-op as we create opportunities to build genuine connections and community.
