European Community of Practice

Watch this powerpoint presentation prepared by Ana Vale about this community of practice for the EU Open Days 2008...

The aim of this community is to promote the methods, tools and approaches that have been developed in different Member States of Europe. 

The community of practice is a tool for promoting learning and knowledge creation about innovation and mainstreaming in the context of the European Social Fund (ESF). It is a way of sharing, transferring and developing successful management practices, of supporting the opening up of new areas of employment in the labour market and of addressing changes to policy or institutional structures.

Other communities of practices in the ESF network are:

• Evaluation
• Gender mainstreaming
• Transnational cooperation
• Partnership
• Quality in public administration
• Sound planning
