summary |
What produces this sense of aliveness as proposed by the authors of the book ""Cultivating Communities of Practice"" (Wenger et al., 2002, chap. 3), are design principles, which are intentional and strategic. These are activities and practices that have the underspecified goals to enable a community to develop, to maintain the fluidity of its boundaries, to enable differing levels of participation, to orchestrate group events and encourage interpersonal webs of relationships, to provide value to its members, to be simultaneously familiar and exciting, and to find the right rhythm of activities. ACADIA is simultaneously a formalized organization, as well as a community of practice, that embodies that very sense of “aliveness.” This has been produced not only because ACADIA has incorporated many of the principles that are characteristic of thriving groups, but primarily because of the people involved in producing, reproducing, and building anew that which we call ACADIA. The members of this community generously bring their curiosity, excitement, knowledge, and their willingness to share to each gathering and to ACADIA’s activities. This, for me, is what I most deeply value about ACADIA—the colleagues, friends, collaborators, role models, and agitators—whose conversations, debates, and collaborations nourish and inspire my work, who challenge me to continually think about our work in new ways, and who help me think about work that we should produce together. |
