Community of practice

beings to create an atmosphere of enriched community. The tour at Brain Coyle Center has been a unique experience. There were a few knowns and a lot of unknowns. My initial thought process going to the center was, I have been there before to play basketball, what else can I learn. How naïve of me, because there were more to the center than I could ever imagine. This experience has taught me a lot, but also gave me somethings to think about in the Cedar community.

I understand that the Brampton Multicultural Community Center offers help to clients in many of these areas. As a volunteer, I would want to be involved in as much as possible; I would like to experience everything that the BMCC offers.

a thorough understanding of their client’s community. An individual’s perspective and attitude is significantly influenced by their micro and macro environments (Netting, 2012). For example, a client’s community is the link between the individual and the resources provided in their environment. Social workers must be able to critically assess the environment in order to identify its needs and functions (Netting, 2012). Despite the vast amount of community information on the Internet, it is…

How does a “community practice” set up tensions in groups? “Communities of Practice” influence our identities, practices, values and the meaning we ascribe to different situations both personal and professional. When differing communities of practice are made to interact with one another and are not managed well the differences in ideas and values can sometimes create situations…
