In a second phase, we formulated ideas, based on the needs of all stakeholders, on how such a CoP could look like. This happened as widely as possible, averse to any imaginary or real limitation. Each participant in the workshop formulated concrete expectations based on their own objectives, how these expectations should be fulfilled and what the impact would be on the shape of the CoP.
A Community of Practice is a self-learning organ. This placed the emphasis on the contribution that each participant expects to be able to provide, in addition to the expected output. In doing so, different levels and different domains of knowledge must be taken into account.
The Community of Practice is not only a self-learning organ, but also self-steering. No one is obliged to participate, so the meetings must be so enthusiastic that it encourages participants to have sufficient and continuous participation.
