We are Ocean Community Report
We've spent the last year or so exploring the concept of community. It's a word that gets thrown about so much that I feel like we've lost sense of what it really means.
I've read research papers, listened to podcasts, geeked out on books - but when it comes down to it, the most meaningful learnings have come from experiencing what community means to me.
When I look back at the last 10 years of my career I can see clearly the impact 'community' has had on me - beautiful interactions with like-minded people that have catalysed collaborations, ways to champion each other's work & connect the human dots to build momentum around issues we care deeply about.
My very first interaction with the We are Ocean community was a total fail. Dan Burgess & Stephen King were hosting an ocean-focused design sprint in Bristol and I was super excited to take part. But the day before I was due to fly out the weather forecast predicted snow and every single flight off the island was cancelled. I was gutted to miss out.
But that's the thing about good community - there's a feeling of always being invited.
