Communities of Practice
Communities of Practice are open to IAP2 Australasia members only. Their purpose is to provide members with a way to meet other practitioners, extend networks, learn from each other, and share ideas and issues.
Members build their skills and knowledge in their particular industry, while supporting others. Groups can support professionals at all stages of development. The aim is to build groups for experienced practitioners and complement the work IAP2A is doing to form practice groups for new practitioners.
An important aspect is to provide a safe, confidential space for members to share issues they may be having and access a ‘brains trust’ to benefit from the experiences of others. Many engagement practitioners work alone or in small groups, so these groups will provide valuable encouragement, support, development and a sounding board.
Since COVID-19, Communities of Practice are now open to all members with new member requests to be submitted via an expression of interest process.
