Burners Without Borders (BWB) is starting a new video series called “Community Conversations,” which are online conversations about how to create communities and projects focused on civic engagement and social impact.
We’ve launched our first video, and we’re honored to highlight BWB-Vancouver and their five-year project “Christmas isn’t Over.” This video features community leader and former Regional Contact Kristy Abel, who talks about activating community and maintaining volunteers, and shares tips and tricks on how you can do it yourself at home.
If your local community has a project they’d like featured in a Community Conversation, reach out and let us know at bwb@burningman.org. We’re starting to put together our schedule for 2019 and beyond. It doesn’t need to be a BWB project, but it needs to focus on civic engagement.
Special thanks to: Kristy Abel, Mia Wallace, Molly Rose and all of BWB Vancouver for helping to put this pilot video together.

I feel less white guilt knowing that they’re out there helping the blacks and browns.

This is exciting times to be sharing knowledge and insight from other chapters! No reason to reinvent the wheel, let’s take this as an opportunity to help each other grow in our civic quests but also to learn more about our BwB global family!
