About eighty people joined us in September for the exhibit’s official opening to enjoy the photos and celebrate stories of community-building in action – everything from neighbourhood “porch parties” to supper programs, restorative workshops, intentional dialogue initiatives, and more. A highlight was the presence of a Syrian newcomer family featured in one of the photos and the opportunity to hear their story of welcome, shared via interpreter.   The photos are being incorporated into class curriculums during the fall term and were featured at Tamarack’s Community Change Initiative in Toronto from September 26-30. If you can’t visit the exhibit in Waterloo, watch for a selection of the exhibit’s photos to appear at upcoming Tamarack Learning events, including Evaluating Community Impact which is being held in Hamilton from November 15-17. 2016.  We hope to see you there. **Learn More:** - Learn about Waterloo’s [Epp Peace Incubator](https://uwaterloo.ca/centre-peace-advancement/epp-peace-incubator), host of the Together, When We Are Engaged Photo Exhibit - Visit the [Tamarack website](https://www.tamarackcommunity.ca/?hsLang=en-us) for more resources about [community engagement](https://www.tamarackcommunity.ca/communityengagement?hsLang=en-us) Topics: [Community Building](https://www.tamarackcommunity.ca/latest/topic/community-building), [kristine culp](https://www.tamarackcommunity.ca/latest/topic/kristine-culp) ![Kristine Culp](https://www.tamarackcommunity.ca/hubfs/Headshots/Team_Headshots/Kris_Culp-007116-edited.png) ### By [Kristine Culp](https://www.tamarackcommunity.ca/latest/author/kristine-culp) Kristine is delighted to bring her writing, communications, and fundraising skills to support Tamarack’s mission.
