From Thursday 31 March to Friday 1 April 2022, the EUTOPIA Connected Learning Communities from the first six selected in 2019, took part in a series of reflection and strategy development sessions.

The event took place at the University of Warwick, where all the community leads and partners were invited to meet. The sessions were undertaken in hybrid mode, with 20 participants present in person and 16 online. The Communities undertook several structured breakout and plenary workshops aimed at ‘looking back’ where they reflected on their community’s activities, evaluating what was done, what worked and what did not. There were also sessions on ‘looking forward’ and exploring future scenarios for the communities’ activities, strengths, opportunities, threats and weaknesses and the support they would need.
