At a time when displacement, separation from loved ones and social exclusion can weaken support networks, the approach creates spaces where adults can build relationships, recognize shared strengths and explore ways to address challenges together. Through facilitated Community Circles, audio stories presenting lived experiences open conversations around belonging, support, coping, hope and living together. Small-group reflection helps participants identify community resources and develop ideas for voluntary collective action.

Two Training of Facilitators sessions have been completed, with evaluations indicating increased knowledge and strong satisfaction. Participants particularly valued the interactive format, relatable stories and practical opportunities to move from reflection toward action.

Further training and upcoming Community Circle cycles will extend the approach’s reach, enabling more people to connect, support one another and take an active role in shaping their communities’ wellbeing.
