WHAT IS BRIDGING BLOCKS?

Bridging Blocks is a community engagement initiative that brings people together on complex and often divisive issues to foster civic dialogue in supportive spaces. Bridging Blocks helps participants build the skills to engage thoughtfully across differing perspectives. One of their goals is to empower community members to become actively engaged in civic life and use their voice in shaping the future of their communities. Through this process, they aim to foster a sense of political awareness and empowerment.

Friends Village will host a program facilitated by WHYY on the second Thursday of every month starting in February with a new topic every month. 

April 9, 2026:  Artificial Intelligence, Tool or Threat?

Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing how people work, learn, create and communicate. AI is becoming part of daily life for many Bucks County residents, from creating grocery lists, explaining new concepts or writing emails.

As helpful as artificial intelligence can be, what are some of the risks it poses? How has AI positively and negatively impacted your own life? And who should be responsible for setting boundaries — individuals, corporations or government?
