- **Event Description**: “Umuganda" explores Rwanda’s monthly national day of community service, a tradition rooted in pre-colonial practices of mutual aid.About this Event“Umuganda" traces the history and meaning of Rwanda’s monthly day of community service, whose name means “coming together in common purpose.” Drawing on interviews with community members, elders, and leaders, the documentary follows the evolution of this centuries-old tradition from its pre-colonial origins through periods of colonial rule, political upheaval, and national transformation. In the genocide’s aftermath, Rwanda revived Umuganda as part of a broader effort to rebuild the nation, restore trust, and create shared spaces for civic participation. By exploring both the painful history and the hopeful possibilities of collective action, “Umuganda "offers a nuanced portrait of a country seeking to heal through service, solidarity, and a renewed commitment to the common good.

A third space where they can belong, where they are known and would be missed if they were gone. That third space is just what we’re building."
