Building a Community from the Ground Up

This event is brought to you by the Beijing Women's Network.

"There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about." - Margaret J. Wheatley

Whether you are looking to create a community to share workout tips, to organize volunteers for charitable causes, or to launch a business project and is seeking guidance and support, we all face similar challenges.

How do we build a community around us that can support us in making memorable change?

How do we attract like-minded individuals to back our ideas? And how do we scale our community/organizations so that they are more impactful but are also sustainable?

Join us in this event to hear from successful community leaders about how they built lasting and impactful communities. Gain insight on the lessons they've learned, the skills that they have developed, and learn about how you can also build an impactful community TODAY.

If you have had an idea for awhile but have been too timid to take action or don't know how to get started, this is the event for you!

不知道从什么时候开始，"community" 或者"社群"这个词就突然火起来。大家都在聊。无论是微信微博的网红们、教育界的老师和学生们、运动爱好者们甚至每晚手拉手一起跳广场舞的大妈们都在讨论如果打造和维持一个适合自己的"圈子。"

那一个社群到底是什么？又有什么意义？简单来说，一个社群就是通过爱好、兴趣、理念等方式把人聚合在一起所形成的圈子。它不仅有生命力也有影响力。有的时候还能凝聚多人的力量为我们的世界做出伟大的贡献。

对于一个还没有找到适合自己的"圈子"的人, TA 该如何寻找和接触适合自己的社群？而对于一个发现了一个社会需求并想建立一个社群的人来说，TA该如何从零开始打造一个社群？如何吸引志同道合的伙伴，来支持自己的理念和创意？将来又要如何扩大自己的社群组织，让它在保持长久的活力和号召力？

我们请了世界各地的社群领袖们在下周三（8月28日）给你们一一解答！到时见！
