BARRIERS TO CIVIC ENGAGEMENT

Community Connexions

Community Connexions is our cohort's initiative aimed at strengthening the social fabric of our city. We’re tackling the barrier of disconnection through storytelling, shared experience, and simple acts of neighbourliness.

Our initiative includes:

  • The development of a short documentary on neighbour relationships in Montreal

  • A community event hosted at Carrefour Jeunesse Emploi featuring a screening of the short documentary

  • Interactive workshops led by community organizations to spark dialogue and connection

  • A practical neighbour connection postcard to help neighbours take the first step toward connection

By making it easier for people to reach out across divides, we hope to build a more cohesive, caring, and civically engaged Montreal.
