September 2025

Are you curious about perspectives different from your own?

Do you wish you had more skills and confidence for meaningful conversations across differences?

Are you looking for ways to connect more deeply with neighbors in our community?

These are challenging days, and many of us are carrying questions, worries, and hopes about the world we live in. It can feel overwhelming—and it can also feel isolating. Join us for an open, respectful conversation about what it’s like to navigate difficult times. This isn’t a debate—it’s a chance to listen, share, and connect with others. Come as you are, bring a friend, and be part of an evening of shared food, connection, and conversation.

When: October 13, 2025, 6-8:30pm in Westborough

This gathering offers a chance to practice listening and speaking with empathy, while strengthening understanding and respect across our diverse community. Together, we’ll take another step toward building a thriving, kind, and connected Westborough where everybody belongs.

Space is limited—reserve your spot today!

Please RSVP by October 8th.

This program is an opportunity for Westborough Connects to continue our Bridging Differences & Divides work. The goal of Bridging Differences & Divides is to increase Westborough residents’ sense of belonging through increased understanding between diverse groups, increased respect and appreciation across differences, and the development and refinement of communication skills including active listening and empathic speaking for individuals. This goal is aligned with Westborough Connects' mission of helping to build a thriving, kind and connected community where everybody feels like they belong.
