Program Description

Event Details

Outside in our south courtyard with cozy fire vibes, see how civic love appears in your life and how you can strengthen relationships in your community.

36 Questions for Civic Love is a tool created by the National Public Housing Museum (NPHM), based on psychologist Arthur Aron and Detroit-based organizer Grace Lee Boggs’ work. According to the NPHM, “Civic love is one’s love for society, expressed through a commitment to the common good. It is a belief in the idea that we’re all better off, when we are all better off." In this event, you will connect with friends and neighbors and learn how you can experience and grow the practice of civic love.
