In addition, partners from the 5 strategic NEARVET country clusters in Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Sweden and Spain, will organize local CoPs with around 120 practitioners - approx. 30 per country cluster, which will offer an opportunity to focus on local or country specific issues, and hold workshops and seminars in national languages. Regular interaction between local and transnational CoPs, facilitated through practitioners from the NEARVET consortium, will ensure the exchange of best practices, methodologies, and innovative approaches. Local insights will inform global strategies, and vice versa. The transnational CoP will provide practical guidelines for the local CoPs, including the main NEARVET goals, and a set of workshop topics.
