10 Community of Practice meetings
SOL organizes 10 Community of Practice meetings. These are only accessible to SOL Members (see SOL Community membership).
With SOL we focus on learning as a Person, as a Team, as an Organization and as a Society. To support this, we also pay attention to Learning Leadership and Learning Culture.
Each participant can bring in a question, problem, situation, or challenge/case. We will then work on it using learning theories/models, but especially with insights/practical experiences from colleagues.
These Community of Practice meetings are online (via Zoom) and will be held on the last Wednesday morning of every month in 2025 (with a few exceptions due to holidays or vacations):
- Wednesday, February 26, 2025 (9:00 AM - 11:00 AM)
- Wednesday, March 26, 2025 (9:00 AM - 11:00 AM)

Activities SOL Community 2023

Peter Senge is coming to the Netherlands!
You can meet him during our Day of the Learning Organization on April 4, 2023.
This year's theme is Personal Mastery. That's not a coincidence. Peter Senge is working hard on an important global initiative: the Inner Development Goals. The idea behind this is that we can only achieve the Sustainable Development Goals if we develop the inner capacity to deal with our increasingly complex environment and challenges. In other words: working on development through Personal Mastery.
Costs: 245 euros ex. VAT
Early bird rate € 195,- ex. VAT (registration no later than 15 February)

The magic of a Learning Culture
April 20, 2023 (3 - 5 pm)
SOL Nederland started an international initiative last year. A team of 5 SOL members has developed a so-called MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) in the field of Learning Culture.
Why is developing a Learning Culture interesting? How do you do that? And what concrete results does this lead to in practice?
We are currently in the best practice collection phase. We do this by conducting interviews with organizations that have a learning culture, or are on their way to this. In addition, with the help of an Erasmus+ grant, we are conducting targeted research into 5 best practices in 5 countries in Europe.
We need reflection from our own community. Are you interested in this topic? And do you want to share your knowledge, skills and experience? Register for this online session for free.
Access knowledge sharing session April 20, 2023: Free (including login to the MOOC Learning Culture)

Learning fables course
6 workshops + 1 Practical day
April 13 - May 11 - June 15 - July 6 - Sept 7 - 5 Oct.
Peter Senge's book 'The fifth discipline' is based on five disciplines of the learning organization:
- Personal mastery
- Joint vision
- Team learning
- Mental models
- Systems thinking
But how does this actually work in practice?
And what happens if it doesn't work?
This is beautifully described in 5 fables about the learning organization. In a playful and humorous way you get acquainted with a rather complex subject.
In five online workshops we discuss each of these 5 fables and translate them into your daily practice.
Inspiration and fun guaranteed, so sign up now!
Total price: € 695,- (excl VAT / including booklets)

Dynamics of the Learning Culture
November 3, 2022 (2:00 PM - 5:00 PM)
Developing a learning culture in your organization is more urgent and topical than ever. And perhaps more complex than ever. Because how can you learn if you are in a continuous state of stress as an individual, as an organization or as a society?
How do you create a learning culture in this time of complex issues following each other at lightning speed? On this day we will look together for answers to these questions.
We have three workshops in store for you in which you will receive examples of organizations that, directly or indirectly, are working on this theme in practice. No ready-made quick wins. But stories of organizations that have discovered the importance of having a learning climate through trial and error.
A fourth workshop focuses on society with all its challenges. This is where many of the aspects that we mention in the practical workshops come together (systemic connection).
Entrance fee: Free (registration required)
