Project Report - December 2007

Overview

During December there was a face-to-face meeting for facilitators in Lisbon and a face-to-face meeting in Brussels for the Steering Group. Most of the activity, both for facilitators and steering group members appears to take place in face-to-face meetings and encounters.

Conclusions and Recommendations
Visits to the online space were down in December compared to November, which is what you might expect over Christmas. In the meantime there are some issues to be considered:

• It is a challenging job for the facilitators who are not familiar with the tools and there is little online activity for them to engage in. This may be a good time to review role and expectations of the facilitator.
• In a community of practice there are three elements that need to be nurtured: the domain, the community and the practices. As we near the end of a cycle of the CoP (in May) it would be helpful to reflect in what ways these three elements are being cultivated and what strategies could carry the CoP forward.
• A review of the site and the site’s content in the form of blogs, re-ports, tools and news should be carried out in the light of the statis-tics reporting the movement on the site.
