What is a Community of Practice (CoP)?
A Community of Practice (CoP) methodology refers to a collaborative learning framework where individuals with a common interest or professional practice come together to:
- Share knowledge
- Learn from each other and
- Develop their expertise through regular interaction
This approach is characterized by three core elements:
- A shared domain of interest
- A community that engages in joint activities and discussions and
- A practice developed through shared resources and experiences
CoPs are dynamic and evolve over time, fostering a participatory culture of learning and knowledge sharing among members, thereby enhancing skills and understanding in a specific domain.
