Learning in a Community

Gina Romero

Serial Entrepreneur & Co-founder of

#connectedwomen

Communities are burgeoning everywhere. With the support of technology and globalisation, it seems all too easy to join and start a community. Communities play a powerful role in society. Social interaction among members facilitates learning by having discussions, expert sharing, Q&A, amongst others. Through communities, members are able to discuss, reflect, synthesis and contribute to the knowledge and experiences of the community.

However, participating in a community can take a lot of effort and time. While communities may start with good intention, some communities evolve and some become silent.

What does it take to start and keep a community going? How can communities help one’s learning?

Beautiful Quotes

It’s not about being the best speaker, it’s about sharing what you know. Even if that helps one or two people in the room, that would really be valuable.
The startup culture is very much about embracing failure and sharing about the reality of having failures.
Community building is a service. With the mind-set of creating something in order to give back, you tend to see it grow organically.
