🏠 Our theme for March is LOCAL

An illustrated neighborhood scene in warm red and pink tones with the word “LOCAL” above a community of buildings, families walking, kids playing, a parked car, and city apartments in the background. Text reads “#CMLOCAL | Illustration by Simone Matias” and “CreativeMornings.”

Our theme for March is LOCAL. It was chosen by our Santos chapter in Brazil and illustrated by Simone Matias.

Local (pronounced lo·cal) in Portuguese means “being a resident or native to a particular area.”

Our Santos chapter had this to say about the significance of this month's theme:

“We are proud to be from Santos. The feeling of loving the city but sometimes moving away. The benefits of belonging somewhere.”

Watch this video from our Santos chapter for more on what local means to them.

So, how does where you’re from define who you are? How do different spaces foster that sense of connection? How can we develop and strengthen bonds with the people around us?

It’s time to remind ourselves that community happens in neighborhoods not just on screens.
