WHAT WE DO
Building Connection in a Time of Disconnection
Our Mission
At The Connection Project, we help people build better relationships with themselves, with others, and within their communities.
We design and deliver experiential workshops, pop-up experiences, and media that foster emotional, relational, and social intelligence. Our work equips people with the skills to listen more deeply, relate more honestly, and create safer, more caring spaces in their everyday lives.
We believe that relationships are the foundation of everything: how we learn, lead, grow, and live together. And yet, we’re rarely taught how to truly relate. Most of us are figuring it out as we go often without the tools or support we need.
“We’re not just trying to prevent harm.
We’re trying to plant the conditions for connection.”
Whether we’re working with student boards, associations, classrooms, or grassroots groups, we create spaces where people can practice what it means to connect across difference, hold discomfort, repair trust, and lead with care.
Because disconnection is everywhere and it’s costing us.
We live in a world that is increasingly fast, polarized, and disconnected. Many young people feel isolated, under pressure, or unsure of where they belong. At universities, these feelings are magnified: students are navigating identity, independence, and relationships often for the first time, and often alone.
Disconnection doesn’t always look like conflict. Sometimes it looks like silence. Or going along with something you didn’t really want. Or not knowing how to ask for help. Or never learning how to truly say no.
We believe that social safety, connection, and belonging are not extras they are essential conditions for growth, learning, and well-being. And they don’t happen by accident. They must be practiced, embodied, and built together.
WHY WE DO IT ?
“Social safety isn’t just about protecting people from harm
It’s about creating the conditions for everyone to thrive.”
This is why The Connection Project exists :
To create environments where emotional honesty is welcomed, boundaries are respected, and communities are built through care not control.
