What are Peer Learning Circles?
People often find that the best way to learn new skills is through doing something, and then reflecting on this with others. The Peer Learning Circles will help you apply the skills that you are developing as community practitioners, to the work you are involved with on the ground.
We want to encourage members of the Community Practitioners Network (CPN) to learn from their shared experiences. Developing new ways of problem-solving and reflecting on the challenges faced in your own neighbourhoods. Together, building a powerful network acting on the issues that people care about.
The Peer Learning Circles will be an essential part of your own personal and professional development and are offered through the Community Practitioners Network (CPN). They will be:
- An online space for individual reflective learning
- A chance to gain direct knowledge from your peers to take back to your neighbourhoods and support action
- A place for peer reinforcement and testing of practice using authentic experiences
- A chance to examine principles and study best practice to bring about change
- A safe environment to explore innovative ways of thinking and doing
- A great place to encourage personal growth or professional knowledge and development
- A space to help personal understanding of how other members achieve constructive results
- A chance to develop new relationships and advance new ideas
