WFCP Congress 2024

22 to 27 September 2024, Montego Bay, St James, Jamaica, West Indies

Affinity Groups

Affinity Groups are an essential element of the World Federation of Colleges and Polytechnics (WFCP). The groups bring together attendees to share and learn about topics which are especially relevant to professional, technical and vocational education and training.

Each Affinity Group is organized by a member association or college with support from one or two other associations or colleges.

Purpose of Affinity Groups (open to all congress attendees)

The Affinity Groups are designed to create a forum for the sharing of challenges and best practice from across the network of WFCP members. Each group can organize itself to suit the topic and its size but primarily the purpose is to:

  • raise challenges relating to the Affinity Group topic
  • facilitate experts to provide leading thinking on the topic
  • share leading practices
  • create opportunities for members of the Affinity Group to support each other
  • promote and publish key findings to help build the body of knowledge relating to the topic.
