Dreaming with Communities
A dream usually begins from an individual’s own perspective, and it’s never easy to make dream come real. What will happen when we take a dream to the community level, when different stakeholders are involved in it? We will have a discussion with Sampson, Helen and Kevin about what is an ideal community, also ways to dream together, finding out the different thoughts and needs with a view to start creating a better version of community.
