Overview

In today's connected world, both digital and in-person communities play significant roles in personal and professional life. Cultural awareness is key to navigating these spaces successfully. In this activity, you will compare communication and engagement in a digital and in-person community of your choice. This comparison will help you understand how cultural norms shape interactions and highlight the communication strategies that promote connection. Whether you’re working remotely with international colleagues, participating in online forums, or engaging in local organizations, understanding how culture and communication intersect will help you adapt and thrive in diverse settings.

Directions

In this assignment, you will explore two types of communities: one digital community and one in-person community, either from the "List of Communities” located in the Supporting Materials section, or from another appropriate example that you are interested in. You will complete this assignment using the template provided in the What to Submit section. The skills practiced in this activity will support your lifelong learning, strengthen your communication, and prepare you for the final project.
