12:00pm to 1:00pm Eastern Time

In this webinar, Peter Block will speak to the concept of a neighbourly economy. This would include building ‘Abundant Community’ in neighbourhoods, as a viable alternative to the consumer-driven economic system that currently exists, as we strive to attain positive health outcomes, better distributed wealth, and engage children, seniors and neighbours in creating an educating neighbourhood. To do this, we must address social development and economic development as one and the same issue, rather than in silos. Join us as Peter offers insights on how we can create self-sustaining structures in our local communities - that reveal and mobilize existing gifts - to create more supportive social and economic fabric for prosperity.
