BRINGING COMMUNITIES TOGETHER

Ovester believes in the importance and power of the community, and that is why many of our services, guides and information are focused on bringing people and communities together

What makes a community…

The technical definition of a community is a group of individuals living in the same area or having something specific in common. For some, the term can be seen as negative, focusing on what makes us unique, rather than what we have common. However, this view relates more to how the communities and groups interact with the outside world rather than what they represent. Communities and belonging to them are important, as it helps us to identify and communicate with people from similar backgrounds and experiences, from the same race, religions, sexual orientations, life choices, in reality, what is and constitutes a community is endless.

Being part of a community should not be about exclusion instead uniting, exchanging and sharing of information. When we open up our community and welcome all those that are interested in learning more, we can break down barriers and help the world understand more about who we are and how much we all have in common.
