Collaborative Events Group
Nourish (comm)Unity II: Crossing Generations and Neighborhoods is a collaborative events series that will feature four events curated by our members in the collaborative events working group. Each event will explore a different Chicago neighborhood through topics such as victory gardens, biking, gathering spaces, and technology.
This year, the series will explore connections across generations as well as across communities, building on the energy created through last year’s original Nourish (comm)Unity series!
