Community Work: Online & On The Ground
Presentation by Lia Hadley
Community:
a feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests, and goals...
People + Purpose = Community
In my Grandparents‘ Generation...
community was all about the Church.
In my Parents‘ Generation...
community was all about mutual interests.
My Generation: Lost Generation?
All about being busy all the time
And in the Next Generation...
community will be about participation & collaboration.
People
