What is a Community of Pratice?
A community of practice (CoP) is a group of people who share a common interest or profession and come together to learn from each other, share ideas, and develop their skills and knowledge within that domain.
why is it important to consistently attend CoP sessions?
The goal is to foster a sense of belonging and collaboration among members, ultimately leading to individual and collective learning and improvement. Consistent attendance fosters a culture of learning, collaboration, and mutual support.
Technology Requirements:
To ensure the best possible experience for all participants, the program relies on online video conferencing, which has minimum requirements to work properly. You will need a desktop or laptop computer with speakers, microphone, and webcam, and a high-speed internet connection. Laptops work best because they come with all the necessary equipment and can easily be moved from room to room in your home or office to find a quiet place.
