Building Caring Communities: A Personal Reflection on Film Screenings

Abstract

Caring communities have been identified as being of critical importance in the promotion of care across a variety of settings. This paper examines the Samsun Cinema Club in T & uuml;rkiye as a case study of how cultural initiatives can foster caring communities. Established in 2017, the club provides free film screenings. The club's activities promote social inclusion, emotional well-being, and collective growth among its members. This paper reflects my perspective as a nurse, demonstrating how my contributions to the Samsun Cinema Club align with nursing leadership principles to enhance social inclusion and emotional well-being within the community.
