Community Forum: Breaking Out of Bubbles
DOX, Prague, April 27 – 29, 2017
Call for workshops
Each of us lives in our own bubble of opinions, attitudes and habits. When we fail to see beyond our own bubble, we run the risk of becoming isolated and not understanding other people – and this can lead to divisions in local communities, as we often see in Central and Eastern Europe. Our second annual Community Forum 2017, subtitled Breaking Out of Bubbles, focuses on this issue. Community Forum: Breaking Out of Bubbles will bring together people working on various levels in local communities in the Czech Republic and other European countries to enable them to glean inspiration from different countries, share their best practices and approaches and support one another’s efforts. The community forum will be an informal gathering with a combination of key note speakers, a set of workshops and open space discussions, all aiming to explore the issue of polarization in local communities.
By local communities, we mean groups of people who share an interest in the quality of their community and feel connected to each other. Those groups are living in a geographically bounded area (village, town, quarter of a city, etc.). During our workshops we want to explore the following questions:

By local communities, we mean groups of people who share an interest in the quality of their community and feel connected to each other. Those groups are living in a geographically bounded area (village, town, quarter of a city, etc.). During our workshops we want to explore the following questions:
- Are there sharp divisions in our local communities?
- How do we work with a divided community on personal, interpersonal and community levels?
- How do we build bridges between different opinions in local communities?
- How do we build viable, communicative local communities that are open to different points of view? The main event participants will be community leaders from the CEE region. NGO staff from the Czech Republic who work with community leaders will also participate.
