Imagination Hackathon Showcase: Building Belonging Together
What becomes possible when people come together to imagine — and begin building — more connected, caring communities? 🌱
Over three weeks, participants in the Imagination Hackathon have moved from vision-building to collective action. They imagined futures shaped by belonging, local action, and collective care, formed small groups around shared ideas, and worked together to turn those ideas into tangible experiments.
Now, they’re ready to share what they created.
Join us for the final session of the series, an open showcase where the groups will present their projects, share what they learned through the process, and reflect on what it means to build together. We’ll celebrate their collective creativity and explore how these ideas could continue growing beyond the workshop.
✨ What to expect
Creative projects inspired by participants’ visions for more connected communities
Honest reflections on co-creation, collaboration, and turning imagination into action
An opportunity to celebrate the groups’ work and discover ideas that could inspire your own community
Come ready to listen, connect, and be inspired by what can happen when people imagine and create together.
