Why is Allies in Community® needed Now?
The Need: A time of disconnection –
Across the world, we see a steep rise in social isolation and polarization at work and in society. We are siloed in narrow groups and often alienated and fearful of those outside our groups. We are increasingly lonely and longing for meaningful connections: relationships where we are seen, heard and valued.
How did we get here? A range of issues have been identified such as economic and demographic shifts, impact of social media, generational and ideological differences, social infrastructure changes, etc.
