What does togetherness mean to you?

Togetherness is the state of being close to people and the feelings that you get whenever you are with people. For me, it is a happy feelings of appreciation with other people which brings unity and peace among members of a community.

Being together creates a bond of strong relationships which makes an individual helpless without his fellow friends or colleagues.(All as a result of oneness or togetherness).

How can we create a stronger sense of community in our lives?

We can create a strong sense of community when we create and encourage shared value experiences, experiences are a powerful way to building a bonds between different people.
Often, the most challenging and difficult experiences are the most powerful way of building people.

Other ways of creating a sense of community is becoming regular in local business, chat with other parents in the local park, welcoming the newcomers in your area, you can join or start a local group or even throw a party.

What activities do you think bring people closer together?

Well, here are some list of activities that bring people together:

• Hosting a memorial cultural heritage celebration.(About a nation or your ethnic group).
• Organizing a community wide donations drive.

All the aforementioned factors technically unite people to together to achieve it's common goals, there other activities as well, depending on the time or circumstances surround the environment, sports festival also connects or bring people closer together in other to achieve it's aims and objectives.
