What types of communities are you part of?
Students are typically part of multiple communities.
These include their school community (class, school), neighbourhood or residential community (Residents' Welfare Association), religious or cultural community (temple, mosque, church, gurdwara groups), and interest-based communities (sports clubs, art clubs, music groups, drama clubs).
Students may also be part of academic communities such as science club, National Service Scheme, and National Cadet Corps, as well as online communities like social media groups and gaming communities, and regional or linguistic communities.
The chapter explains that 'community' is a flexible concept and can refer to groups based on religion, region, common work, or interest.
