3 ways to achieve belonging in your neighbourhood 1. Put yourself out there. Creating a sense of belonging takes effort. It requires you to put yourself out there. Seek out activities and groups of people with whom you have common interests, and respectfully engage with others who you may be different to. 2. Reach out to people you don’t know. You may find you have more in common than you think. 3. Practice acceptance. Focus on the similarities, not the differences. Remain open to new ways of thinking.
