Download the School Community Events Guidelines to design gatherings that people connect: link in the comments. Madeleine Hewitt highlights a simple truth. Not everyone wants constant interaction. People need space to step back and still remain part of the community.

Some people engage more when the expectation to engage is removed.

I keep pushing against patterns that are quietly failing us. We changed how we try to connect, and so much changed poorly with it. Listen to the Leading Through Crisis podcast episode.

Connection deepens far more when people share space, not just conversations.

Online keeps people connected over distance. In-person deepens the relationship. I have seen teams talk weekly online and still miss life-changing moments until they share meals together. Strong communities invest in both.

Online communities help us, and they are a weak substitute for in-person connection. Even a few gatherings each year can change everything. Use online tools for access and privacy, and protect time together in person.
