An opportunity to engage the volunteer network from across different ESOs, within the COP's vast area. Community of Practice creates a defined 'space' to which enables members to address their shared experiences and collaborate on solutions to practical problems which are encountered in workplace and volunteer environments. They develop a shared repertoire of resources: experiences, stories, tools, ways of addressing recurring problems.
