Welcome to the Groups landing page!
Are you looking for collaborative online communities to exchange knowledge on common topics of interest, thematic areas or projects?
Groups are collaborative online communities to keep in touch with each other and exchange knowledge on common topics of interest, geographical areas or projects. Share documents and audio-visual materials, ask questions, or promote events, lessons learnt and best practices in group discussions.
You can join or request groups with different levels of privacy (public, restricted, or private - by invitation only), to collaborate and engage with your peers. Join the discussion! For more info, please see the platform's Terms of Service as well as brief descriptions of the different Community Roles.
The guidance page provides answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs) on moderating and using the discussion groups.
