We have created this group with a simple intention: to provide a kind and caring space where community builders can learn from each other, meet and build relationships.

Why does this matter?

We believe that we live in a highly disconnected world. And we hope by connecting community builders in a caring space, hopefully their jobs will get a tiny bit easier, their impact a tiny bit bigger and the world a tiny bit less lonely.

Please also have a look at our Co-Created Vision and Minimum Viable Community documents and add yourself to the community builders directory below.

What do we focus on?

• Peer Learning: we share insights, articles and questions with each other.
• Peer Friendships: we hope you'll walk away meeting some people you become friends with.

How do we do it?

• Everything is co-created: joining this community comes with an explicit invitation for you to shape this group.
• Kindness is at the core: there are many online spaces that can feel negative or draining. We aspire to make this a caring, nurturing, positive space.

Our Values

• Relationships: The most valuable thing in this group are the relationships among its members and we hope to create more of those. Its the purpose of this group and relationships matter more than anything else.
• Co-creation: This group is co-created with and co-owned by everyone in this community. Feedback, ideas and initiatives? Post in the group or get in touch with one of the facilitators below.
• Kind & Caring: This is a space where we can ask for help without being judged and treat each other kindly, with respect, humility and patience – we're human, mistakes and misunderstandings happen to all of us.

Our Agreements

• No self promotion: We encourage everyone to share valuable insights and actively invest into this group. Self promotion and selling destroys the collective vibe and we want to avoid it at all cost.
• Communicate with kindness and respect: Please keep in mind that we’re all humans and everyone is just trying to figure it out ;-) Communicating with patience and kindness will help strengthen the group.
• Stay focused on Community Building: Please only post content that is relevant for communities / community building / community design.
