A stable, secure place to call home is essential for feeling whole. In Uganda’s Bidibidi refugee camp, Alight and Every Shelter created Shelter Depot, a DIY home improvement store where displaced families can access affordable tools, solar panels, stoves, and more. ?? With a work-for-credit program, customers with limited financial means can still create homes they’re proud of. ?? For those who have lost so much, this isn’t just about rebuilding—it’s about restoring dignity and the peace of home. ? The peace of house & home—that’s #WhatReallyMatters

COMMUNITY-FOCUSED CONTENT AT SXSW 2025 Be inspired by hundreds of intriguing panels and presentations, plus dozens of thought-provoking Featured Speakers and Keynotes at the 2025 SXSW Conference, scheduled March 7-13 in ATX. Discover specific topics covered at next year's SXSW by browsing these LinkedIn posts. Today we highlight five community-related sessions at the 2025 event, as a strong focus on community is so much of the foundation of all March Magic activities. Co-Creating Joy -- Art Uplifting Displaced Communities: As the number of displaced people and refugees worldwide reaches a record high, artists are at the forefront of narrative change. This panel covers the innovative campaigns and projects from creators across media who are using art as a catalyst for impact and action in support of displaced communities. https://lnkd.in/gXuJKG9M Community Building Across Generations: How we build community and how we network is not the same across the generations -- and this is a good thing. This session examines what different age groups can learn from each other in terms of strengthening the bonds that make our lives meaningful. https://lnkd.in/gdPev_Ni Community Champions -- Driving Social Justice Forward:? This panel will address effective community mobilization, as well as innovative approaches to uplifting those individuals in the justice-involved community, leveraging marketing for advocacy, and case studies of successful local initiatives. https://lnkd.in/gbndYfQU Connecting into Communities -- The New Route To Brand Growth:? Communities are an increasingly vital source of growth & relevance for modern brands. This session explores how to size the reach of a community with data and analytics; how define your brands role in the community with a passionate purpose: and how to leverage cultural semiotics to build relevance. https://lnkd.in/gXqU5-eq Partners in Culture -- For-Profit Leaders as Community Builder: Whether it's a result of budget cuts or a lack of financial support to begin with, small businesses are serving local arts communities in ways never before seen. This sessions covers motivations, hurdles, resources used, and how to replicate what's already proven to be viable (and valuable) community services. https://lnkd.in/gGf6MxJd Attend all these incredible community-focused panels and presentations by registering for SXSW 2025.
