Opening and Developing the European Capital of Knowledge through Community of Practice

The session celebrates the start of the work on the “Community of Practice” of the Digital Education Hub. As part of the European Commission’s initiative under the Digital Education Action Plan, a consortium of eleven European organisations, led by German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), supports the development of an open, collaborative and cross-sectorial community of digital education stakeholders. EDEN is among the core partners. The European Digital Education Hub is an overarching action of the Digital Education Action Plan by the European Commission. It seeks to improve cooperation on digital education at the European Union, national and regional levels, between the different education and training sectors and stakeholders in the private and public sectors, in research, policy and practice. The Community of Practice will be at the Centre of the Digital Education Hub’s activities and will connect digital education community by bringing together diverse stakeholders across sectors of education and training. One of the tasks of the CoP will be to build and develop knowledge sharing activities. This session at the OEW will address several important questions to guide European digital education community development and will search for the answers on how this community could open and develop the European capital of knowledge through the Community of Practice.
