The concept of «networking» - from the English words «network» and «work» - appeared in the Russian language relatively recently, but today it has become close and understandable to young people.
In a broad sense, networking is a community of people united by a single activity and effectively carrying out this activity. It can be both socially and professionally directed. The main thing that distinguishes it is the ability to help each other, to go towards the goal, to be the shoulder.
