Introduction to communities of practice - wenger-trayner
Communities of practice are formed by people who engage in a process of collective learning in a shared domain of human endeavor: a tribe learning to survive, a band of artists seeking new forms of expression, a group of engineers working on similar problems, a clique of pupils defining their identity in the school, a network of surgeons exploring novel techniques, a gathering of first-time managers helping each other cope.
For example Socratica is a community of practice for makers, builders and artists and Turku ❤️ Frontend is one for developers, students, hobbyists and anyone curious about frontend web development.
Scenius is adjacent idea, focusing on how a community of smart people is a healthier option than focusing on the idea of an individual genius.
