Program Description
Event Details
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, participants will connect with strangers and strengthen relationships between neighbors, comrades, and colleagues. Come see how Civic Love appears in your life and how you can experience and grow the practice.
