Ideas & Inspiration
In this section, we provide a list of ideas for your GenWell Weekend or at any time, to start building healthier connection habits with family, friends, neighbours, classmates or colleagues.
​
Of course, there are too many ideas to list here, but the key is that you take action, whether it’s a coffee with a friend or neighbour, or you feel like something larger on your street, at the office or in your community.
Whatever it is, HAVE FUN!
Check out ideas, inspirations and photos from past Genwell Weekends.
Community Inspiration
Whether it is family, friends or neighbours, power up your community by hosting your own GenWell Project. Make a few calls, send an email or knock on a few doors – whatever it takes to get people connecting face-to-face. We thought we would share a few suggestions just to get your mind started on what you can do to host your own GenWell Project on GenWell Weekend. Don’t forget, size doesn’t matter and it doesn’t need to cost a lot of money. Start small and let the energy of those who join you inspire bigger events in the future! Don’t forget to use some of the tools we have to help you make the initial outreach – here.
If you are a community or neighbourhood leader and are interested in engaging your street or community in a deeper knowledge about the power of human connection for the health and well-being of every resident, consider hosting a GenWell Social Health Workshop for your street or community
