European Community of Practice

Overview

Activity picked up in September in preparation for the Lisbon workshop, EU Open Days and Steering Group meeting which will all take place in October.

Reflections and next steps...

• September has been a busy month preparing, consolidating and developing the work of the CoP. It is interesting to compare the events of this month with the report of September last year. There has been a leap of confidence in relation to using new tools and meeting up in places that are not face-to-face.  It is important that we should review the new approaches and methods to meeting and communicating of this CoP before the end of the lifecycle in December.
• The approach of the Lisbon workshop also marks a different degree of confidence than that of the Warsaw seminar. The workshop builds on and extends the preparations and lessons learned from Warsaw, which we should also be recording as part of the shared learning of this CoP.
• The workshop in Lisbon will be another opportunity to develop the social reporting toolkit. Social reporting will also help to make a coherent link between the work of this Innovation Mainstreaming CoP and the event on Social Innovation and Transnationality to be held in Lisbon in December.
