The Community Forum took place in 2017 and we are not planning the next edition in 2018.

Community Forum: Breaking Out Of Bubbles

Prague, DOX – Centre for Contemporary Art
April 27-29, 2017

Are there sharp divisions in our local communities?

How do we work with a divided community on personal, interpersonal and community level?

How do we build bridges between different opinions in local communities?

How do we build viable, communicative local communities that are open to different point of view?

Each of us lives in our own bubble of opinions, attitudes and habits. When we fail to see beyond our own bubble, we run the risk of becoming isolated and not understanding other people – and this can lead to divisions in local communities, as we often see in Central and Eastern Europe. Our second annual Community Forum, subtitled Breaking Out of Bubbles, focuses on this issue. Community Forum: Breaking Out of Bubbles will bring together people working on various levels in communities in the Czech Republic and other European countries to enable them to glean inspiration from different countries, share their best practices and approaches and support one another’s efforts. The community forum will be an informal gathering with a combination of key note speakers, a set of workshops and open space discussions, all aiming to explore the issue of polarization in local communities.

The language of the event is English.

Registration is closed.
