Communities of Practice
Mutual learning and capacity-building activities will 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”):
- Employment, Education, and Skills
- Social Inclusion
- Social Innovation
- Migrant Integration
- Material Support
In addition, technical support will be provided to two existing networks: ALMA and EU Roma.
Activities of the CoPs
- 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.
