Culturally Competent Placemaking I: Human Needs

What makes people happy? They want their needs met. In this webinar, we’ll explore what psychologists say are six universal human needs, and how creative placemakers can address them in their work. Understanding core human needs will help you understand not just what people say, but what they mean.

After you're watched the recording and read the resources, let's talk about this topic in an upcoming community conversation.
