Communities of Practice

Join one of our Communities of practice.

Our communities of practice (CoP) bring together people working in different areas of our church to prevent violence, to share best practices and to create new knowledge together.

Each Community meets online once every three months and can keep conversations and resource sharing going between meetings via an online community messaging thread.
