Bonding Social Weaving
Actions that create networks
that link people who see
themselves as similar & tend to
be inward looking
![Page 30: Weaving a Richer Social Fabric - Inclusion Alberta · Work on a community project Donate blood Attend a public meeting where there is discussion of local or school affairs Attend](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052104/603f6cfe2dd8131a3a051572/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Bridging Social Weaving
Actions that create networks that
include people with different
interests & identities –tend to be
outward looking & are harder to
create than bonding networks.

What people who weave the social fabric do is understand & emphasize the importance of relationships & personal connections to achieving their objectives.
