Communities of Practice in Lifelong Learning - an Invitation

Posted October 29, 2015 - 15:29 by Mike Osborne

We are currently involved in a project called DISCUSS (see http://www.discuss-community.eu), which is supported by PASCAL about the development of communities of practice in lifelong learning. We know that many PASCAL subscribers have had many years of experience in such communities and wonder if some of you would be willing to write a short blog (just one page of response only is needed) about some of your experiences in the context of projects in the field of lifelong learning.
