We invite you to an insightful and playful workshop with Protein Community exploring the importance of nurturing healthy and collaborative communities in today's ever-changing world.

Inspired by the intentions set in our recent DIRTY WORDS #4 [COMMUNITY] report — to create a new definition of community that prioritizes belonging and co-ownership — this session explores the diverse approaches to nurturing thriving, vibrant, and inclusive communities. We will also cover the main findings from the report, as well as practical tasks and takeaways that you will be able to implement in your own community.

After the workshop, stay for drinks with other members of the Index and Protein communities.

Protein Community is a global group of cultural creators who commune online and IRL to collaboratively build a better future. We’ve been tracking the people and ideas that permeate culture through our Supplement, Reports, and Journals since 1997. Since 2021, we’ve been using Web3 tools like our $PRTN token to bring together brilliant minds to collaboratively discover and incubate projects that align with our Good Growth values.

Come meet some Protein Community members and like-minded individuals for some drinks and chit-chat. Workshop participants are invited to stay for the party, everyone else should RSVP here →
