3. Learning topics
The learning needs survey for the Cop launched in 2010
resulted in a set of resource briefs and priority topics of
choice which were recently validated by the IW:LEARN
Steering Committee.
These topics of conversation will be led by experts in the
respective fields but, to fully deploy their potential for
learning, participation and exchange are still looked
forward to.
4. Learning events
Targeted regional workshops allowed for the
discussions to start and for the participants to identify
lessons learned and challenges to tackle with project
twinnings or CoP support.
To open up the debate, an electronic forum is proposed
to be held throughout 2013. The discussions will focus on
one topic per month to address the various interests by
projects.
