Community Building Course
Hi everyone! Welcome to the final course of the Leadership Development Program. Do note that this course also serves as an elective for other academy programs so you are in the right place even if you are not an LDP trainee. Anyone can complete this even if they are not enrolled in any academy program.
Please click on each week to get the link to the chapters and activities, as well as the chapter quizzes.
What is this course?
It is a learning opportunity based on the teachings of the book ‘Get Together: How to Build a Community with Your People.' The book is written by authors who are experts on community building. We encourage anyone who is interested in community building and management to read the book but it's optional. We have studied the book and summarized the key lessons and their 7 Cups applications. The course will go on for 4 weeks, each week we will look at the findings of two chapters and how the principle knowledge can be applied to 7 Cups. Each week's learning will be accompanied by a quiz to test the knowledge!
In order to receive your certificate and the Community Builder badge, you need to complete all quizzes (80% or over-score in all + no copy/pasting for essay questions), and submit the evaluation form. Failure to submit the evaluation form will result in no certificate or badge.
Note: Each quiz contains a field where we ask you to apply some of the chapter's teachings. These are essay questions so they are not auto-graded however if a user is found to be copy/pasting the answers to satisfy the word count or not putting in the effort to come up with a relevant answer then the person will not receive a certificate or a badge. This is not a mandatory course so if you choose to take part then please try to study the notes and be honest in your answers. It is the only way to learn!

@FrenchToastClub Hey there. I completed the course and submitted the evaluation form days ago and was just wondering when I'd be getting my results?
@FrenchToast
Chapter 9 Questions
The community mentor leader in the trauma support forum runs a system of formatting and encouraging submission of relevant articles related to trauma and fact-checks them. That way numerous people can contribute to the writings and enjoy them for educational purposes. A leader ought to ask for insights from the community as that is who the leader is truly serving and how important things can get done.
I learned that a community should celebrate with a clear purpose and intention; celebration can be very important because it can allow a community to grow and lead to the development of new activities, fame, and venue. Celebration also helps current members and leaders reflect on the progress in the past and help them look forward to improvements and good deeds in the future.
