CommuniTEA Infusion Project
We now have a facebook group for the Tea van.
The CommuniTEA Infusion experience is essentially a mobile tea house that comes to a neighborhood street and creates a kind of town square where people can come together, get to know each other better and strengthen connections. One reason this is important in our fast paced society today, is that fewer persons are connected in meaningful ways with community. If however the gathering place comes right to your door, there is a greater chance for meaningful exchange to take place.
CommuniTea Infusion has no religious or political affiliations and is run by neighbors who are inspired by the possibility that conversations could sow the seeds of building stronger, creative, safer, more connected communities.
It is the Learning Community's strong belief that people working in the disability sector need to understand more deeply the work of community developers. We think that the CommuniTEA Infusion project is the perfect way for us to ally ourselves with some experts in the area, to learn by participating, and to offer our help in neighborhood development work. This is why we are enthusiastic and endorse this project.
