ReGathering
Co-founder and Product Manager · 2020 – 2021 · Past
A past community platform connecting newcomers and minority communities through small online gatherings.
Overview
ReGathering was created around the problem of social isolation and the need for stronger community connections. Its website describes an online platform where newcomers in Canada and members of minority communities could find people with shared interests and experiences.
The gathering format emphasized small, interactive groups rather than large broadcasts. Organizers proposed a time and topic, and participants joined a short online session to talk, learn and build connections.
