Originally designed as a carefully curated network of complementary organizations, the Hive model has evolved into a grassroots movement with Hive Learning Communities forming around the globe. Local facilitators use a variety of tools, practices, frameworks and strategies to ensure that the unique local contexts of their communities are embedded into programming. Utilizing best practices and knowledge sharing opportunities from the ever-growing Hive Learning Network, Hive Learning Communities are able to host impactful events, programming and meet-ups that encourage meaningful community collaboration and innovation. | |||

The Hive Learning Communites (HLC) begin to use the connected learning principles and the practices of Hive to operationalize a network of opportunities that address local challenges. They draw heavily from the experience of existing Hive Learning Networks whose leaders function as consultants and mentors sharing information about structure, program design and strategy. | |||
Local facilitators then adapt tools, practices, frameworks to their local contexts. They are free to self-identify themselves as Hive and use the branding assets and developmental resources that are openly networked and provided on the Hive Learning Networks Resource [http://hivelearningnetworks.org/resources/#hive-logos-and-graphics webpage] | |||
