Community of Practice exist in our day to day life activities, in our homes, schools, place of work e.t.c. .These are people that come together to share ideas or knowledge about an event or a set goal.
Therefor, Community of Practice can be defined as a group of people or organizations bounded by what they share or do together i.e tiring to archive there set goal.An example of a community of practice is Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC).
Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) is a community of practice because the entire labour workers both the skilled and unskilled, the government and private workers all come together to form the NLC. In this Community of practice, there objective can be found on http://www.onlinenigeria.com/finance/?blurb=619
, these set objectives or goals is the bounding force holding the labour workers together as one community, even though the workers are from different Establishments and organizations.
In my view, for a Community of practice to exist each member in the community of practice must be attracted or have a passion for the set goal or objectives.
