{ "name": "Are We Forgetting How to Be Neighbors? Practicing Hope in a Lonely Democracy", "description": "What happens to self-governance when we forget how to be neighbors? In a \ncountry marked by loneliness and political division, and in a culture that \nemphasizes individuality and avoiding discomfort, what does it mean to live \nwith the people around us\u2014not because we chose them, but because we share a \ntime and place? And what might it take to recover the habits of \nneighborliness that allow free people to live together, and perhaps even \nflourish together?\n\nJoin the S1 Project, the Center for Ethics in Society, New Hampshire \nHumanities, and the Ethics Forum at Souhegan High School on Wednesday, \nNovember 18, for Are We Forgetting How to Be Neighbors? an intergenerational \nconference of high school students and adults learning and practicing civic \ncharacter.\n\nThrough guided conversations based on readings, visual art, and short \npresentations, participants will consider the habits and dispositions that \nmake a common life possible\u2014or impossible: the walls we build, the people \nwe exclude, our capacity to turn away, and small acts of attention and \nobligation that keep us connected.\n\nThe conference will ask: What if hope is something we practice together? The \nday will move from conversation to action: participants will identify how \nthey want to practice neighborliness, choose a concrete act, and commit to \ntake that first step. The goal is not simply to have rich conversation about \nwhat sharing a life in common requires of us, but to leave ready to create \nit.\n\nThis event is free and open to the public, but registration is required. \nLunch is included.
