our work
Code-named “Keep Badges Weird”, We Are Open and Participate started this robust learning experience to help:
- Upskill Participate team members (incl. ‘product visioning’)
- Educate people who are CoP-curious about value cycles
- Provide real-world experience of digital credentials to those new to them
Now we’ve established a vibrant Community of Practice and are beginning an advocacy campaign and other initiatives. Join us!
