A community of practice is a group of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly*, developing a sense of craftsmanship.
This initiative aims to create an ecosystem of studios backed by expertise and science, fostering the emergence of skills, knowledge and attitudes inspired by Communities of Practice.
We aim to develop Practices that spark curiosity within every Participant involved, by practicing regularly together guided by a Facilitator, with the support and nourishment of a Steward.
We define a Studio as a facilitated community of Practice, where Participants regularly meet with a Facilitator following a framework designed for emergent learning.
A Practice is the act of rehearsing a behaviour repeatedly, to help learn and eventually master a skill or way of being. A practice not only involves doing specific tasks but also encompasses ways of thinking, learning, and being.
The Participants are the lifeblood of the Studio. Their curiosity is the energy that keeps the community growing by showing up regularly to Practice.
Participants contribute their time, knowledge, perspective, experience, skills, attitude, beliefs, and stories. They are willing to be part of an unusual space where exploration and emergence replace rigidity and predictability.
When participating in a Practice, participants receive the gift of a community of peers dedicated to growing and learning. They strengthen their existing abilities, stretch into weaker areas, and open up to completely unexpected paradigm shifts.
The Facilitators orchestrate the learning experience, co-creating with the Participants a safe yet challenging environment that transcends traditional educational paradigms by
