Open Circle

Creating a sense of belonging among college students in New York City

Project Description

Open Circle uses social media to promote free or low-cost events that build connections between students through offline cultural activities in urban settings. The vision is informed by Gen Z’s desire for a socially-inclusive alternative to hours spent scrolling through social media.
