Building communities
What do you think of when you hear the word community?
Is this a community?
Is this a community?
One sort of community is a group of people who live together
in one place – maybe a village, a housing estate or a
particular road in a town.
We also use the word community when people have a shared
interest, like a culture, a religion, a job or a hobby –
for example, the Muslim community, the farming community or
the school community. So you can be a member of more than
one community at a time.
What communities do you belong to? There could be quite a
few, for example your school, your country, your religion,
your neighbourhood.
Anthony, tell us a bit
about yourself...
Whatever we mean by community, the key sense of the word
is sharing. People in a community have something in common.
