Building an Authentic Community of Practice

Blog

Blog #6

Im not sure if this counts but for my community or mostly amongst people I know I have been told I am good at creating community amongst others. I have found that many people I meet don’t have a strong community or sense of “family”. Maybe it is just the type of people I most click with or maybe it is the general feeling I don’t know. But I enjoy gathering people I think will click and giving them space and time to create a bond. I find doing this over an outside activity is the best like a picnic while playing cards games, playing badminton, reading, or other more physical activities like rock climbing. Sometimes my roommate and I hold movie nights where each person invited brings someone the others don’t. This way we are growing our little community in a light hearted space with no pressure.
