Communities of practise concept The concept of communities of practise can be best described as being formed by people who engage in a process of collective learning in a shared domain of people who engage in a process of collective learning in a shared domain of human endeavor; for example, a group of community activities coming together to improve the quality of life of its own people who share a common passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly. The concept does compromise the autonomy or integrity of any group or organization. Structure of the organisation The PCC operates via a Board of Directors, which is made up of prominent members of the civic, welfare, education and cultural organisations. An Annual General Meeting is held each year where a report of activites of the PCC is presentedto the public. An audited financial statement, Which accounts for funds raised and our expenditure is also presented for acceptance at the AGM. Whilst the PCC is a registered non-profit organisation, we have also been accepted by the SARS as a Public Benefit Organisation (PBO) . This would allow donors of the PCC to claim some tax benefits. The structure is premised on the ideal that the board would have both fiduciary and functional authority as agreed at the AGM of 2009. Fiduciary
