What is this?

Conviviality is a concept that allows us to explore the idea of people coming together for collective enjoyment. It can be thought about in terms of the relationships between people, the environment, and the shared resources that help create and maintain a lively and mutually beneficial communal experience. At its core, it is a way of thinking about what we value as humans and how we can shape our environments and interactions in ways that emphasize shared joy, social connections, and mutual support.
