About This Course

12 Steps To Grow Your Community Building And Management - On And Offline

        You may want to build a community to involve and engage people, understand and react to customers more effectively or just to share zeal and passion about a subject you love. Whether you're starting from scratch, or need a boost for your existing community management, this course will help.

              Community Building Basics investigates creative potential in the community manager role, alongside most necessary analysis and measurement. You'll create your own community blueprint, making your own Community Building Journal,  and culminating in 12 vital steps for your specific community - whether business, non profit or good cause, or just for fun.

            Here are  33 participative exercises to generate and focus your ideas, which can be done as intensively or spread out as you wish.  

        But ideally, a community would take a few months to establish. So while the exercises are short - the thinking will not be.

            You'll get resources: web links, platform suggestions, book, blog and expert ideas to help with your community building, as well as a support group. In 2023 this course has been completely revamped, to reflect post-lockdown community building and new ideas.  You'll also get monthly updates.      

Building a community can be challenging, in that involves bringing together people, technology and on and offline activity. In its sprawling potential it's exciting too, but this makes it all to easy get distracted and sidetracked. This course will give you a route through the forest which you can return to time and time again, to stay on track. 

  Reviews 

     Great Overview! 

     This course gave me a lot to think about, and a different perspective on how to gain members into a community. I hope they make more courses dealing with the topics covered in this course. I especially am hoping for a detailed planning one. 

      Fantastic Course 

      An informative, engaging and useful course in the basics of community building. Extremely helpful as I embark on the launch of my new community in a few weeks time! Thanks Pippa for your expertise! 

    An invaluable tool to help you build thriving communities 

    Philippa's course is short and easy to follow but asks you to dig deep and think about your approach, your community members and yourself. It's clear that Philippa has combined her own hands on experience of community building with her extensive knowledge of psychology. Delivered in an engaging and warm style, this is a course you'll want to take your time working through. The pdf exercises allow you to apply Philippa's teaching and insights. I highly recommend this Community Building Basics course whether you are setting up an Allotment society, building an online special interest group or campaigning for a local cause. And don't forget to tell others involved in building communities to sign up for this excellent course. JulietFay

Using terms and words that don’t get to the point causes me to stop and figure out what the word means instead of being able to get into the exercise

While the course offers a wealth of valuable information, its delivery can be somewhat tedious, feeling prolonged and outdated in its teaching style. However, it remains an excellent resource for establishing a strong foundation and gaining insights into community-building strategies.

This is a fascinating course, the presenter Philippa Davies has a beautiful calm voice which is very clear and easy to follow. I love her personal stories and Philippa has a super sense of humor, making this course so much fun to attend.
I work for Google and I have found this course has greatly empowered me to create a community within my office at work, and also in my neighbourhood in Boulder, Colorado.
I have learnt such a lot and shared this course with my boyfriend - it's a wonderful course for everyone.
Each of Philippa's lecture is well structured, I feel like I'm in-person attending a University lecture and it's amazing to get so many lectures for such an affordable price. AWESOME and I 100% recommend Philippa Davies because her lectures are engaging, informative, inspiring and such a joy to follow!
