DISCUSS, the European Platform for Communities of Practice in Lifelong Learning seeks to do the following:

• develop a state-of-the-art platform for communities of practice in lifelong learning, helping to foster dialogue and exchange between beneficiaries and users of the Lifelong Learning Program of the European Union
• bring together project actors, experts, stakeholders, decision makers and end users in a collaborative environment

We invite subscribers to join this community, which can be found through this link. Here you can share project results, ideas and expertise with researchers, practitioners and other stakeholders in the field of lifelong learning across Europe and beyond in an interactive fashion using a variety of tools. 

DISCUSS is encouraging communities of practice to be developed within a range of domains, and currently is inviting contributions in the following areas:

• Creativity and Innovation
• Developing basic skills and key competences
• E-Learning
• Education transition
• Intergenerational, senior & family learning
• Promoting social & economic cohesion through improved adult education
• Quality assurance in vocational education and training
• Validation of informal learning

We look forward to your contributions.
