| Properties of community of practice (CoP) and legitimate peripheral participation (LPP) |
|
| Building the community: experiences in learning, mutual engagement, and joint enterprise | Mutual engagement and joint enterprise (CoP) | We agree that it feels fun and exciting to try some new activities and hopefully be able to challenge ourselves to try things that we might not have tried if we were by ourselves. After all, it is a big reason why we created this blog. (blog post) |

| Sharing personal experiences contributes to creating a sense of belonging | Mutual engagement, joint enterprise, and shared repertoire (CoP) | This group started out as a blog group, but it evolved quite quickly. There were so many ideas in this group. So, it began to take shape as an inspiration group. It was a lot about exercise, and everyday life training. We wanted to give tips about everyday life training. Then we tried different activities and came up with different activities. We had one group member who was very resourceful and had a lot of experience in everyday life training. Almost every time we met; he came up with a new exercise that we tried. (interview Pwo/OE) |
| Shared repertoire (CoP) | After the coffee break, we all went into the main hall again and we felt a bit nervous, as it was time for us to go up to the podium to introduce ourselves and our blog. The day before, we prepared a PowerPoint presentation with keywords and some pictures from the activities we did together. (blog post) |

| The dual processes of learning and belonging | Mutual engagement and joint enterprise (CoP) | We went and played ping pong, and we’ve been up here playing miniature golf and stuff… And tried to do things which we didn’t really think we could… Because when you have a stroke-you can’t play ping pong. My hand is dead… But then we tried things like that, and we had a lot of fun. (PwOE, interview) |
| Mutual engagement and shared repertoire (CoP) | When the members of the blog group met last time, one of the members told us how happy he was that he could now carry two coffee cups at the same time, one in his left hand and one in his right, which he also proved when coffee was to be fetched from the machine to the table where we were sitting. Of course, the rest of us were impressed and congratulated on this progress. This led to a discussion where he shared that before the stroke, he had not seen this as progress, then it would have been something you just do. (blog post) |

| Becoming a valued member or not | Social membership and learning (LPP) | It feels welcoming to be here. I’m new to the group. Popular [name of Pwo/OE] has handed over the assignment to me. It will be my pleasure to write on the blog. This Friday we talked about all sorts of things. There was a lot of laughter and some anecdotes about things I may not have thought of before. (blog post) |
| Lack of social membership (LPP) | I have not been very involved in this. They have been more involved in this blog group and made blog posts. I do not really see what I could add. The only thing I can say I’ve done is this training video. (interview PwOE). |
