The Power of Community: A Meaningful Conversation
Conversation 5: How do we build capacities for community building?
📍 In-person at Bertha House, 67-69 Main Road, Mowbray, Cape Town
🕕 Time: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
You’re invited to an in-person series of meaningful conversations hosted at Bertha House, exploring the transformative role of community in our lives and in society.
This series is hosted by soul.com, a global initiative that accompanies people around the world who are building communities—working to unite individuals, institutions, and society in a shared movement toward justice, cooperation, and meaningful action.
“Communities enable people to impact society in a meaningful way. So powerful is the potential of communities that, in our view, it will probably shape the future organisation of human affairs.”
