A winter walk & talk with unhoused neighbours
This interactive program is a chance to learn from neighbours most affected by the housing crisis.
Join Community Development Halton staff and peer researchers for a short presentation about the Learning From Lived Experience project before setting off on a group walk. Together, we will visit a few locations that represent the daily struggles of unhoused neighbours and listen to their stories, and personal experiences. The program will end back at Central Branch with an opportunity for refreshments and further discussion about stigma, empathy, and advocacy. Come with an open mind and dress for the weather.
This program involves about 45 minutes of active walking on mainly paved terrain.
Presented with Community Development Halton, a non-profit organization that works with Halton agencies, municipal and regional governments, and local grassroots organizations to build vibrant and inclusive communities where all people prosper.
