Global SoL - A Network of SoL Communities Around the World
February 13th, 2013 0:00 AM

May 2012 marked a major milestone in our ambition to become a truly international network of networks - a network of local and topical SoL communities around the world. On May 19 and 20, the first General Assembly of the "Global Association of SoL Communities" (short: Global SoL) took place in Stockholm, Sweden. During the Assembly, the participating SoL communities refined and approved the constitution and elected the Board which consists of 11 members each representing a different local or interest-based SoL community. The communities further explored their vision for Global SoL and some of the key elements include making each other visible to each other, applying a disciplined approach to learning with and from one another, and engaging in shared activities or projects. The Board of Global SoL together with members of the communities will continue to refine this vision as part of a charter that will be developed over the coming months. The charter will more clearly define the aspirations, activities and relationships of SoL as a global learning community.

We are proud to share that Global SoL was incorporated as a non-profit organization in Austria this Summer! There are about 20 recognized SoL communities around the world and we expect more will be initiated in the months and years ahead. To access a local SoL community in your part of the world, to participate in a topical SoL community, or if you are interested in creating a local or topical community, please contact us.
