Abstract:
Communities of practice (CoPs) enhance the work around global citizenship education (GCE), enriching ways of thinking and acting for social transformation. Through their shared expertise and collective actions, CoPs provide a platform for individuals to amplify their voices and raise collective awareness about social and environmental justice. Addressing this context, this article reports on a study that aimed to understand how a CoP on GCE can be a disruptive place with a potential for individual, collective, and communitarian transformation. Data included individual multimodal narratives, meeting minutes and recordings, questionnaires, and mind maps, which were collected over two years. Results show that through disrupting routines, taken-for-granted beliefs, and a self-centred praxis, the CoP allowed its members to better align their personal and professional selves, as well as to develop confidence and a collective sense of direction and hope. Findings confirm the relevance of CoPs in providing alternative spaces for positive change.
