About Communities of Practice
In SELINA, we consider Communities of Practice (CoP) as collaborative networks where individuals with shared interests or challenges come together to deepen their understanding, exchange knowledge, and collaboratively develop innovative solutions. We refer to the concept defined by Wenger (1998), which presents CoPs as gathering individuals who commit to improve their practices and expand their skills through regular, meaningful interaction. CoPs are designed to foster dialogue among participants, encouraging the development of new skills and perspectives that they can apply in their professional roles. Through facilitated discussions, members draw from project outcomes, personal insights, and collective experiences to co-create solutions and strategies that advance their fields.
