a/kit to belong
Connection in a/box
This kit isn’t here to fix loneliness or rush you through anything. It’s here to give you options to reflect, create and play and hopefully feel a little more connected to yourself or others. You can choose from activities that are solo or ones that you do as a/part of a crowd – read on.
Get the kit
Loneliness can show up in many moments, even when things are “meant” to be exciting.
A lot of people feel this and especially in early adulthood, but it’s not talked about much. It can feel confusing to be lonely when you’re surrounded by people, or when your life looks fine from the outside.
Review the menu for a/kit to belong – it’s connection in a/box but stories don’t all have to fit in a box. Eight creative activities have been designed from the stories young people have shared. These different forms grow connection for the same belonging. You can choose stickers, nature cards, puzzles, mini zines, playlists, connection cards, or postcards.
Things can be done solo or as a group of six people. Doing things solo? Maybe start with two or three activities in your kit, or if you are a/part of a crowd mix 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 activities together – or order a full kit to try.
Try mixing Do with Make or mix one from Play and two from Read.
Share your stories back with us on the a/part of the crowd space to belong.
Things to DO
Reflect and connect through doing. Be reminded to Stick with nature with our bespoke nature cards that help remind us of connection with places, outdoors, nature, or try a puzzle for some focus time.
Things to MAKE
Express your thoughts or feelings through guided activities. Select from some fun creating a solo or group mini zine or create something light as a playlist to listen to while you make, door play.
Something to PLAY
Spark your curiosity and connect through play. Select from a token card challenge that helps to connect in small ways socially through fun challenges, or collect and swap art cards and share your thoughts.
Things to READ
Shared stories and guided prompts to encourage reflection. Select from a/part of the book for belonging or the whole book for belonging, or send postcards across time for someone else to read for now or the future, here, different stories are shared in one space and help to remind us we all belong here.
