March's theme is LOCAL 📍

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

We'll see you at the MAH on March 27 - Save the Date!

Everyone is welcome, whether you've been a local since birth, since time immemorial, since your days as a UCSC undergrad, or since last month!

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.

A few things to ponder this month:

How does where you’re from define who you are?

How do different spaces foster a 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.
