An alternative to formal learning
What is learning in a community of practice?
The CLOCK International Community consists of lots of different individuals that engage in one or more specific activities or ‘types of practice’. They do this online or wherever they live, play or work.
We develop different skills by doing practical activities with others.
CLOCK identifies the 3 kinds of skills that we learn together in a Community of Practice as:
- PRACTICE
- SHARING KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS
- DEVELOPING SOCIAL POTENTIAL

Investing in Your Community
The CLOCK Life-wide Learning is for home schooling communities, youth groups, community learning centres and secondary schools.
You could set up a local hub for ‘Active Learning’ with CLOCK to ‘put joy back in the centre of learning’, to build your confidence and sense of belonging within your practice community. You may also support others to achieve CLOCK’s skills-based digital badges or Micro-credentials.
