- Abstract
- This report aims to provide a better understanding of the roles of communities of practice (CoPs) for media workers in (and around) the Brussels-Capital Region. It sheds light on who the CoP participants are, what topics they engage in, what the companies’ approaches toward CoP are, and what the participants seek and learn in these kinds of shared learning initiatives. The research results of this report show benefits for media workers as individuals, infusing directly or indirectly into the performance of companies and sectors, which means that CoPs are worth considering in any policy project involving media clusters. Therefore, the report ends with a series of recommendations on how CoPs could be better integrated into projects such as mediapark.brussels with suggestions on how to support CoPs in Brussels’ media industry with an emphasis on how to make sure that CoPs actually meet the needs of media workers.
