Community Building




A wide variety of practices can be utilized for community building, ranging from simple events like Potluck s and small Book Club s, to larger–scale efforts such as mass Festival s and building Construction projects that involve local participants rather than outside contractors.

Activist s engaged in community building efforts in Industrialized Nations see the apparent Loss Of Community in these societies as a key cause of Social Disintegration and the emergence of many harmful behaviors. They may see building community as a means to increase Social Justice , individual Well-being and reduce negative impacts of otherwise disconnected individuals.
