The Take Part learning framework and networks

Networking is at the core of the Take Partlearning framework and its principles inspired the Active Learning for Active Citizenship programme(ALAC). ALAC was organised as a set of regional hubs, which were constituted by local groups working on issues of active learningin civil society. Dialogue, reflection and networking were inherent in these hubs' activities at all levels of the programme. This elaborates the role of networking in Take Part, in particular, its contribution to increasesocial capital and community empowerment.
