National Week of Conversation is April 21-27, 2025 and Westborough Connects is once again participating in the Better Together Film Festival, hosting "The Tennessee 11." The program will include a screening of the film (watch the trailer HERE) followed by facilitated conversation focusing on the skills and process for bridging differences (not the subject matter of guns from the film).
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.
Throughout the National Week of Conversation, community spaces across the country will participate in the Better Together Film Festival, helping to bring together diverse groups of people to view films that showcase hopeful stories of bridging divides. These nonpartisan films were selected for the Better Together Film Festival because they inspire hope and exemplify how everyday Americans and leaders can find common ground and understanding with each other, despite their differences. Westborough Connects is excited to be part of this national event for the second year in a row.
We wish to thank the Listen First Project for this incredible opportunity.
We hope you can join us!
