Community of Practice

Systems change in practice – become a champion of place-based, community-led change.

We are building our Community of Practice (CoP) as a vibrant and supportive network of people dedicated to place-based, community-led change.

What is a Community of Practice?

This Community of Practice (CoP) aims to create a vibrant and supportive network of people dedicated to place-based, community-led change.

Through regular webinars and other opportunities to meet with like-minded peers, members will have the opportunity to enhance their skills, share insights, and develop their practice to understand, and implement, ways of working that lead to meaningful impact in communities.

What is the purpose of the Community of Practice?

The purpose of this Community of Practice is to bring together people who are champions of place-based, community-led change who are: interested in developing their place-based, community-led practice advocates for community power and shared decision-making champions of place-based community-led change.

The CoP will:

share good practice and innovative approaches to place-based community-led change
provide a platform for discussing challenges and solutions related to place-based initiatives
enhance the skills and knowledge of participants through continuous learning and development opportunities
foster collaboration and networking among Community of Practice members

The CoP will be an online community. The key channels and opportunities to engage will be:

Quarterly webinars: provide opportunities to hear about the experience of doing place-based community-led change
