Explore the Impact of Space on Community at The Walrus Talks

The Walrus will host a virtual event titled “The Walrus Talks at Home: Place and Belonging” on November 4, 2025, from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. ET. This event aims to explore how the environments we inhabit influence our sense of community and belonging. Four expert speakers will present their insights on the concept of “third spaces” — social environments beyond home and work, such as parks, libraries, and online forums.

The discussion will delve into the challenges and benefits of creating spaces that foster social connections. As urban areas continue to evolve, understanding the importance of such places is crucial for enhancing community engagement. The Walrus emphasizes that thoughtful design and investment in these environments can significantly strengthen social bonds.
