LinkedIn is one of the most used social networks geared towards companies and professionals looking to make new business contacts or keep in touch with previous co-workers, affiliates, and clients. The informal learning experiences and the recognition of the informal competences can be useful to the users of this social network. For this reason, we have created a open group in LinkedIn. This group aims to involve people of any country and any context in discussions about questions relative to the TRAILER project. Furthermore, this group contributes to the dissemination of the results achieved during the project.
