Learning community
The place to meet and exchange
In our learning community on Arendt Academy, we bring together researchers, professionals and citizens to learn from and with each other. Do you also think learning together is so much more fun? Join one of our groups and exchange directly with colleagues and experts. Whether it’s an inspiring story from practice or a fascinating publication: by sharing our knowledge and experience, we can work together on innovative solutions to complex social challenges.
Join our learning community
Our learning community on Arendt Academy consists of several groups. Below we explain how to join a group and what you can find and do there.
Join a group
Do you already have a account on Arendt Academy? Great, read on. Don’t have an account yet? Then sign up first.
There are currently two groups: PolarProf (for local government staff) and Ogen Open (for participants in our bystander train-the-trainer course). Both are private. This means the group organiser must approve your membership request first. (Don’t worry, it will be fine.)
Under the tab All groups you will find all public and private groups you can join. Under My groups you will find all the groups you are already a member of.
Find your way around
Have you joined a group? Let us show you around. The group menu consists of several sections:
