For example, a person’s own values are likely to influence the type of people with whom she becomes familiar (the friends that she chooses, the TV stations that she watches, etc.) and will also therefore influence this person’s perceptions about a typical fellow citizen – including a typical fellow citizen’s values (Arrow A). Social institutions will be shaped in part by people’s own values (for example, through the preferences that people express as decision-makers, voters or consumers) (Arrow B). A person’s perceptions of social norms – the values that most other people are seen to prioritise – will likely affect the values that this person prioritises (Arrow C). Social institutions are also likely to be influenced by people’s perceptions of others’ values. For example, perceptions that most people prioritise economic self-interest above honesty will lead to the creation of institutions that anticipate widespread cheating (an anticipation that will be held by both decision-makers in charge of an institution, and the wider public who may vote these decision-makers into their roles) (Arrow D). Social institutions are likely to influence citizens’ values (think, for example, of the role of government in “changing the heart and soul” as mentioned in Section 2.2 above). (Arrow E). Finally, social institutions are likely to influence people’s perceptions of others’ values through the expectations that they create about how citizens will behave. For example, do these institutions assume honesty and trustworthiness on the part of their stakeholders? (Arrow F). Interaction between these elements of the values nexus will therefore contribute to determining levels of public concern about social and environmental problems, commitment to civic engagement and feelings of cultural belonging. They will also contribute to determining the level of ambition shown by business, government and the third sector in pursuit of these outcomes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6203b3024e8a4a141e4b47b8/97df0ca0-a3f1-460b-a17b-42f20dc89b79/tomcrompton_fig3.jpeg Paper Series: On Belonging in Europe - Healing division through exploration of shared values - Make it stand out Figure 3: An example of a poster celebrating the Manchester Museum’s volunteers.

With a Master's degree in History from the University of Oxford, where she specialized in oral and agricultural history, she works at the intersection of embodied learning, rural life, and intergenerational storytelling. Her practice explores how shared narratives and artistic practices can foster belonging, especially in contexts marked by collective grief and social fragmentation. Xavier Arrateig has extensive experience in community building and bridging practices. He co-founded an association focused on ecological education, organizing monthly sessions that promoted environmental awareness and reconnecting people to ecological principles. Xavier also initiated Le Jardin des Dingues, a self-managed, participatory festival where attendees contribute to all aspects of the event—food, camping, culture, logistics—creating an immersive environment that fosters connection and collaboration among diverse individuals. Additionally, Xavier co-founded Le Cocon des Canailles, which includes La Guinguette du Touroulet, a community café serving as a local empowerment hub. Through workshops on non-violent communication, conflict resolution, and theater in schools, he creates opportunities for people to work together, build trust, and strengthen their sense of belonging. Ruby Devoe, the Democracy and Belonging Forum’s summer intern, is a student and writer interested in political ecology, journalism and radio broadcasting. She is currently working on a thesis about social ritual and subcultural space within the neoliberal urban environment, and writing a series of short speculative fiction stories about distraction, ghosts and other hauntings. She also hosts the show Elsewhere at the 90mil community radio in conversation with grassroots political activists in Berlin. Ruby recently spoke with Network Catalyzers alexandra and Xavier about their journey with Les Goûters Historiques (The Historical Gatherings), the experiences that shaped their work, what they’ve learned, and the challenges they continue to navigate in building community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6203b3024e8a4a141e4b47b8/81b2f31c-8ec0-420e-bd20-f9f6e99e3933/Gouter+Historique+May+17+2025+%281%29.JPG Overview - Network Catalyzers alexandra georges-picot and Xavier Arrateig on Les Goûters Historiques de Chalais - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6203b3024e8a4a141e4b47b8/ecddbeb2-c950-49dc-b013-eee1e4e87d09/DSC03003.jpeg Overview - Network Catalyzers alexandra georges-picot and Xavier Arrateig on Les Goûters Historiques de Chalais - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6203b3024e8a4a141e4b47b8/d5f6aade-8365-4053-a9f3-7807fb6a699b/Gouter+Historique+May+17+2025+%283%29.JPG Overview - Network Catalyzers alexandra georges-picot and Xavier Arrateig on Les Goûters Historiques de Chalais - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.democracyandbelongingforum.org/forum-blog/network-catalyzers-agnes-meneses-and-mat-cotton-on-democracy-and-belonging-in-cities monthly 0.5 2025-11-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6203b3024e8a4a141e4b47b8/8c6066d1-0d0e-49cb-b4c6-d6cc69661267/Untitled+Design+Presentation.png Overview - Network Catalyzers Agnes Meneses and Mat Cotton on Democracy and Belonging in Cities - Agnes Meneses has over 25 years in the nonprofit sector, understanding the relationships among funders, grantees, and communities.
