BLAST Community of Practice Guide

This guide has been designed to make it easier for facilitators, trainers, community
catalysts and adult educators working in civil society organisations and networks, to build and nurture well-functioning peer learning communities that intentionally support and foster transformation.

Beyond tangible outputs like innovative tools, methods, products, improved processes, a transformative CoP also has the potential to widen perspectives, change behavior and mindsets on an individual and collective level and can thus be considered as system shifting.

The BLAST partnership is funded by: European Union Erasmus+ KA2 Strategic Partnerships Programme and has been set up to interweave three key concepts and respective sets of practices that have mostly evolved independently from each other in the past decades: Blended Learning (BL), Transformative Learning (TL) and Socio-Ecological Transition (SET).
