Communities of Practice and Networks
Mutual learning and capacity-building activities focus on key policy areas of the ESF+ and emerging socio-economic and political challenges to be addressed in the context of five Communities of Practice (hereafter “CoP”) and two networks:
- Employment, Education, and Skills
- Social Inclusion
- Social Innovation
- Migrant Integration
- Material Support
- ALMA network
- EU Roma
You can find the European Competence Centre for Social Innovation first half-year events of Communities of Practice and Networks here.
Activities of the CoPs and Networks
- Restart the platform for transnational communication.
- Store information and make sure it is accessible, easy to navigate, and retrievable.
- Engage and respond to the needs of the community.
- Provide a space where members can collaborate, discuss the main topics, and learn from each other.
- Be efficient, minimising the time and resources required to maintain and update knowledge.
- Provide a basis for upward communication: valuable experience can be collated and shared in a suitable format that can be disseminated externally through the newsletter, website, and social media channels.
