The campaign ‘What you share, you don’t carry alone’ introduces conversation starters in the form of cards. These cards contain questions intended to initiate deeper conversations beyond the everyday ‘everything okay?’. Questions like ‘What made you happy today?’, ‘Which memory would you like to relive?’, or ‘What are you proud of?’ invite genuine listening and getting to know each other better.
Talking about how you feel, what’s on your mind, or what energizes you is not always easy for everyone. The conversation starters offer a nudge to make this easier. They encourage making time for each other, listening sincerely, and getting to know each other a little better, as even a small conversation can foster connection.
The cards will be available in October at various locations in Wingene, Zwevezele, and Ruiselede. People can pick them up in places where they meet, such as libraries, local service centers, and youth centers. The municipality encourages residents to take a card and ask the question to someone nearby.
In addition to the conversation starters, Wingene municipality is also organizing several free activities focused on mental well-being from October 1st to 21st. Listening and reading tips have also been compiled to inspire reflection on one's own well-being and that of others.
