Creating community content and programming requires creativity and structure to ensure long-term success. Without a framework, brainstorming can feel haphazard and ineffective. To guide your brainstorming efforts, consider these seven themes to guide your community content and programs:
- Education
- Provide opportunities for participants to deepen their understanding and mastery of a subject matter.
- Offer workshops, tutorials, or courses tailored to the interests and needs of community members.
- Stories
- Share the history and founding narratives of the community, highlighting important milestones and key figures.
- Introduce new members to the community's backstory to foster a sense of connection and belonging.
- Debate
- Facilitate discussions on topics relevant to the community, encouraging diverse perspectives and respectful dialogue.
