Why are green spaces important? What is the future of green space? How does green space impact our communities? What challenges are presented by green spaces or the lack thereof?

WHYY News’ Bridging Blocks program is an initiative that brings together community members on hot-button topics to foster civic dialogue in supportive spaces. Bridging Blocks was created to help residents build the skills to engage in civic dialogue while breaking down echo chambers.  For more than two years, WHYY has successfully collaborated with the Free Library of Philadelphia, local schools, and senior centers to host conversations with hundreds of residents across the city on topics such as gun ownership, reproductive rights, immigration, voting, public safety, gentrification, and many more.

Join us for a meaningful discussion on Green Space facilitated by the the Bridging Blocks team, Tony Cuffie, Sr. Manager of Community & Engagement, and Brisa Luzzi Castro, Community Convener.

When you register for an event, we are holding a spot for you. If your schedule changes and you can’t attend, please let us know so we can open your spot to someone else.
