How to forge meaningful human connections
“I always try to have a chat with people when I’m out in the community. People we see in the shops, in the park, on the school run are more valuable than many people realise. It’s important to feel like your local community is actually a community, not just people living totally unconnected lives near each other.” – Kirsty, Staffordshire, England
“I initiated a football WhatsApp group aimed at children living in our neighbourhood. It gets people together once or twice a week to play football (at no cost). There’s no training – it’s just fun.” – Dominic, Bern, Switzerland
“I tend my front garden. Passersby stop to ask about plants, to say how they have been enjoying some particular flowers or just to say hello.” – Amanda, Hertfordshire, England
