“Learning in Communities of Practice:
a Journey of the self”

Etienne Wenger is a globally recognized leader in the field of communities of practice, which views learning as an act of membership in a “community of practice.” He co-authored Situated Learning, in which the term “community of practice” was coined, and he was featured by Training magazine as one of sixteen emerging visionaries in the area of corporate training. He also wrote Communities of Practice: Learning, Meaning, and Identity, which lays out a theory of learning based on the concept of communities of practice. Most recently, he co-authored Cultivating Communities of Practice: A Guide to Managing Knowledge. Wenger helps organizations apply his ideas through consulting, workshops, public speaking, and courses, both online and face-to-face. He is a founder of CPsquare, a community of practice on communities of practice, and “Learning for a small planet” a broad research project to further develop the theory and explore its implications.
