Affinity Groups & Communities of Practice
During EMDC, Affinity Group Facilitators convene meetings along three main categories: Geographic, Social, Technological. These may vary slightly depending on the location (Europe/Asia), the theme, and the year, but you can get an idea from the list below.
“It was one of the best conferences I have attended during the last 20 years of ministry when it comes to location, environment, facilities and program. The time for workshops and interaction (affinity groups) was so excellent and the whole set up of ministry leaders and fieldworkers gave nice opportunities for connections on all levels.”
