Circle U. Communities of Practice (CoPs)
Circle U. Communities of Practice (CoPs) provide a platform for university professionals eager to collaborate and exchange ideas on shared topics, such as integrating new technologies, innovative teaching methods, and inclusion.
The activities carried out within these communities of practice may include workshops, seminars, and sessions for sharing best practices. They will enable you to collaborate with your European partners towards a common goal, set by yourselves, to advance practices in your community’s field.
Flexible, CoPs offer their members the opportunity to engage at their own pace, with virtual or in-person meetings, ensuring active participation while accommodating everyone’s professional constraints.
A CoP has already been created around the theme of language teaching! An event will be held on 2–3 June in London to discuss best practices and new pedagogical approaches in this field. Would you like to learn more about this event? Contact us at circleu.iro@u-paris.fr.
