The impact, however, lies not only in the final event, but in the process itself: planning, gathering, holding smaller events and exchanging ideas in ways that deepen relationships, raise awareness, and offer new pathways to connection.The initiative is being led by Anne D’Urso-Rose and Ose Schwab, who have decades of experience leading multidisciplinary projects that bring together community at the intersection of media, art, dialogue and civic engagement."
