New Episode Drop! 🎙️ ⬇️ When we consider the experiences of our on-campus students, our focus revolves around fostering community, facilitating connections, and aiding in transitions. But do we specifically consider the issue of loneliness?

When brands lead education, they can significantly enhance community safety and foster responsibility. Brands have the power to influence and champion initiatives that build safer, more informed communities. https://lnkd.in/gnuyiQSX

⭐Strategy Spotlight⭐ This week, we’re highlighting how creating routes for residents to safely walk through neighborhoods have been shown to increase levels of social connectedness and reduce feelings of loneliness. Having routes to safely walk around one's neighborhood can increase residents' familiarity and trust in their neighborhood, resulting in greater community cohesion. Similar to the benefits of mixed-use, walkable neighborhoods, the short interactions that take place between residents on walks can eventually develop quality connections and inspire greater support of other residents. Cities across the country have created Safe Routes to Schools programs for children and their families to walk to school, safe from traffic, construction, and crime. Some neighborhoods in North Carolina, California, Vermont, and Georgia have implemented walking school buses, whereby "neighborhood captains" (parents, teachers, or even local business owners) collectively supervise the path children take to get to school. This coordination encourages communication and relationship building among neighbors, offers parents and children quality time to bond, and can provide busy parents with social support. Learn about the research behind this social connection strategy and explore community examples in our Action Guide's catalog of strategies! Click here to dive in: https://lnkd.in/geRqbGBz

Powerful step when family engagement is prioritized as an instructional strategy! 🙌🏼

Are you thinking about launching a community? Don't overthink! As humans, we have community in our blood. We're "social creatures". And yet, we often get lost in irrelevant details when starting a new community. And ignore important pieces. We've built three communities from scratch. And from what we have learned, these are the important pieces. 👇 What else should we add here? 🤔 ___________ Now, if you've turned your community on all sides and things are not quite right yet, it's okay to ask for help. 💛 The last "Building Community from within NOcourse" this year has opened registration, and if you are building internal communities within your organization, you might be one of the 10 people to embark on a 12-week-long learning journey: https://lnkd.in/e6fuGw6F Maybe we get to learn together. 💛 #buildingcommunityfromwithin #nocourse #communitybuilding #communityofpractice #ERG #community #learningcommunity

"You can’t be what you can’t see". A few weeks ago I had the chance to talk to Year 11 and Year 7 at a local school about offshore wind as a career. What we do? how you get there? what are the prospects? and the quantity and level of questions was brilliant. We don't build onshore wind farm in Surrey & Greater London so they'd never seen one but they were still very interested in Sustainability and Energy Transition. What it meant? The famous Net Zero we hear so much about in the news and the Energy Transition. How it works? Did we digress from offshore wind ? Yes... but we talked about how the future will change, hydrogen buses and aeroplanes, large scale infrastructure projects and I hope this sparked an interest for the Renewable industry. Today is Social Mobility Day. I strongly recommend you sign up to https://lnkd.in/e4F3fNAt. Inspiring the Future does all the hard work for you, match you up with local school and initiatives. You just have to agree to give 1h of your time (online or in person, a talk or a careers fair etc). If you are still reading, and you think you already know all there is to know about Offshore Wind, come to RenewableUK Global Offshore Wind conference in Manchester next week #RUKGOW24. You can still buy tickets and I'm pretty sure you will still learn something from the amazing line up at the panels, the innovation stands and all the companies exhibiting. I can't wait to be there. #inspiringthefuture #renewableuk #socialmobilityday #EnergyTransition

How effective your family engagement is will have a large part in determining how effective your community schools efforts will be in improving achievement, equity and readiness. Do you have the kind of family engagement you need?

During my time at @Life Without Barriers, I’ve learned that fostering can come in many forms. Providing care doesn’t have to be full-time; it can be providing a safe space for a young person for a couple of nights or one weekend each month. When it comes to fostering, no two children or families are the same; that’s why Life Without Barriers doesn’t take a one-size-fits-all approach.
