What is a community of practice?
A community of practice is a group of people who share a common area of interest and learn together by meeting regularly to exchange on what they do, what they test, what works, and what doesn’t.
The core idea is to build knowledge and skills collectively. Rather than everyone reinventing the wheel on their own, a community of practice allows members to:
- Share concrete experiences and existing projects
- Build a shared knowledge base, accessible to everyone
- Create connections between citizens, experts, institutions and local authorities
- Make it easier to take action with answers tailored to your situation
In the field of renewable energy, this kind of community is especially valuable: the sector is evolving rapidly, legal and economic models are complex, and hands-on experience is often hard to come by. COPÉR is here to bridge that gap.
What is a community of practice?
Renewable energy sharing is central to the energy transition. But between the technical, legal, economic and social dimensions, it’s not always easy to know where to start. Homeowners wonder how to make the most of their solar panels. Tenants want to participate in the transition without owning property. Municipalities are looking to create or join an energy community
COPÉR brings together those who are asking questions, those who are experimenting, and those who have answers!
COPÉR is open to everyone. No technical background required. Whether you are:
- A homeowner curious about making the most of your solar installation
- A tenant wanting to be part of the energy transition
- A representative of a municipality or local authority
- An expert or professional in the energy sector
- Simply an engaged citizen
A series of accessible events throughout the year
COPÉR runs as a series of themed evenings and workshops, each independent from the others. No need to attend everything
