Host A Screening
Screening A Thriving Communities Film
Documentaries open doors. A Thriving Communities screening brings people together around stories that matter — and starts conversations that can lead to real change in your community.
​
What You'll Need
A space (in-person or virtual), a way to invite people, and a willingness to hold the conversation.
​

Discussion Starters
-
How do you feel after watching?

What moment stood out to you, and why?

What would it mean for your own life or work to contribute to the regeneration of your community?
-
What's one step you're ready to take?
A Few Things That Make Discussions Work
One person speaks at a time. Use "I" statements. All questions are welcome. Stay curious, not combative. Make space for everyone — including the quiet voices in the room.
