Social Practice As Activity
Social practice involves engagement with communities of interest by creating a practitioner-community relationship wherein there remains a focus on the skills, knowledge, and understanding of people in their private, family, community, and working lives.

Activity theory suggests the use of a system of participants that work toward an object or goal that brings about some form of change or transformation in the community.
