Community is a real buzzword in communications. We hear terms thrown around like community engagement, community building, and community management all the time. But at its core, the word community is so subjective. So what does it mean for social impact and how it can be leveraged for good? For the season finale of Comms for Good, I sat down with Gabriella Mikiewicz for a unique podcast recording. We were joined by an incredible live audience of social impact communicators to talk all things community building - throughout the episode, you'll get to hear their insights alongside Gabriella's! This is a really special and important conversation between all the people who drive me to continue the work at Comms for Good. We covered: The importance of community: why is it so powerful? Digital communities: how we can build meaningful engagement behind a screen Breaking out of echo chambers: ensuring that we are amplifying diverse voices Gabriella is a social impact communications professional with an academic background in migration studies and journalism. She is the co-founder and managing director of The Channels Network, a grassroots community which gathers social impact communicators from all over the world for the purpose of professional and personal development. Thank you to The Channels Network for partnering with Comms for Good on this episode and throughout this season.
