I would like to see a future where people can feel safe wherever they are, as well a sense of confidence that you're part of a community and you're supported.

For Danica, a healthier future is one where people can build understanding and connect with each other more easily, both physically and online.

She envisions a future with more things you could do in groups, "for example, if you're going to catchup and chat , you can throw in some sort of activity, like walking or even like cooking or gardening.

Just spaces where people can do things together. I think it's good to do different activities while you're talking, especially because it's also relaxing.

 

More green spaces to help bring neighbours together would build a feeling of community and greater understanding. Danica would love to get to know hers a bit better.

Danica's Reality Check

 

Danica thinks that real social connections are when you are able to make time to be with the people you love. She likes to go to concerts with her friends.

"Even during the concerts, sometimes I say to them (...) I'm so happy that I'm here with you guys."

"Being in that special moment and experiencing the music live it's so different to listening to the music on your phone."

"It's just so much better in real life."
