Today, we're exploring social structures in communities. Can anyone tell me what social structure means?
Isn't it about how people are organized in a society?

They probably influence how people interact and collaborate.
Right! The stronger the social structure, the more effective community functions can be. Remember the acronym C.A.N. It stands for 'Connect, Act, Nurture' in community interactions.
That's a helpful way to remember it!
Let's summarize. Social structures are key frameworks that organize community interactions, influencing collaboration and support networks.
