“Community Building Techniques”
Community participation is such an important human endeavour. We will consider both face-to-face and online communities.
Notes:
In the physical community, one must fight with traffic, find somewhere to park and pay for meeting space and food. On line, you just need a networking platform such as Zoom, a mic and a camera. So there are differences. In both cases, you need a notification process such as MeetUp for face-to-face or email/calendar for online.
But there are a lot of important similarities between online and face-to-face community meetings:
- A common purpose, interest or need
- A facilitator
- Agreed upon ground rules & principles
- Invitation, inclusion & engagement
- Individual acknowledgement or promotion
- Invitation for suggestions and input
- Stability – time, place, cost, expected program
