36 Questions for Civic Love Brunch
Join us to celebrate civic love! Inspired by the Boston Public Library and the National Public Housing Museum’s 36 Questions for Civic Love program, this conversation-based event is designed to connect strangers and strengthen relationships between neighbors, library patrons, and people in our community.
For 90 minutes, attendees will be paired with one stranger and each will ask the other a series of 36 pre-created questions, ranging from "Who was your most memorable teacher in school?" to "Who is an unsung hero in your community?" These conversations are aimed at connecting with and getting to know your neighbors and community.
The National Public Housing Museum defines civic love as "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. We manifest it through all kinds of actions--volunteering, marching, speaking against systemic injustice, making reparations--but the love itself is the emotional heart of the work."
Coffee, tea & light refreshments will be provided.
