Third spaces are those social spaces that aren’t your home or your workplace. They’re those great in-between environments where you can come by just to hangout with your community.
They can act as the building block of a healthy, thriving community. Although many of these spaces have disappeared, there’ are efforts to bring them back.
Today, we take a look at third spaces in Connecticut and beyond. Plus, heading into the long Labor Day weekend, we get an update on a "Where We Live" favorite third space — Connecticut parks and forests!
Guests:
- Mason Trumble: Deputy Commissioner with the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection
- Melissa Whitson: Professor of psychology and licensed psychologist at the University of New Haven
- Michael Brown: Owner of Third Space in New Haven, a gaming lounge, creative community space and event venue
- Sydney Williams-Brown: Co-owner of Third Space
