The Power of Local

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

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.

EN ESPAÑOL

Entonces, ¿cómo te define el lugar de donde vienes? ¿Cómo los diferentes espacios ayudan a crear ese sentido de conexión? ¿Cómo podemos crear y fortalecer los lazos con las personas que tenemos alrededor?

Es momento de recordarnos que la comunidad se construye en los barrios, n osolo en las pantallas.
