 * Share, learn, innovate!**
 * A knowledge sharing toolkit for OHCHR**

 Developed in partnership with the International Training Centre of the ILO, the //Share, learn, innovate!// toolkit presents methods and technologies to enhance knowledge sharing within OHCHR and through OHCHR activities. The techniques presented in the toolkit are a combination of methods that are already in use among some OHCHR staff as well as new ones to be tried out. Some of them are also well established training methods. By presenting each method or technology in a clear and practical manner, the toolkit’s objective is to promote a wider and more consistent use of a variety of knowledge sharing methods that apply to the broad spectrum of OHCHR activities. The methods and technologies included in //Share, learn, innovate!// are drawn from other KM toolkits within and outside the UN and adapted to the OHCHR context.
 *  ** Share ** the knowledge you have gained through your experiences and practices.
 *  ** Learn ** from what you have done and from what others share with you.
 * Make use of the knowledge to **innovate** in the way you work and the solutions you propose.

// Share, learn, innovate // ! is for **all OHCHR staff.** All of us can use one or more of the methods proposed in our activities and promote their use among our colleagues.

The promotion of the toolkit includes: ▪ The organization of learning events, such as workshops and coffee briefings; ▪ Piloting and championing its use, particularly among those who participate in learning events; ▪ Ad-hoc support and coaching that can be provided by the Methodology, Education and Training Section (METS).

**How to use the Toolkit** The //Share, learn, innovate!// Toolkit contains instructional sheets on 21 knowledge sharing methods and 11 technologies, as well as a general introduction to knowledge management. You are encouraged to begin by reading this introduction in order to better understand how the methods and technologies fit into the overall framework of knowledge sharing and to have a clear notion of key concepts, such as the knowledge cycle and tacit knowledge, to which the instructional sheets make reference.

The methods and technologies are organized along six entry points, designed to guide you in identifying the tools that best serve your purposes. Some methods and technologies are categorized under more than one entry point because they are suitable for several purposes. All 21 methods and 11 technologies are also listed alphabetically in the index page for quick access to the instructional sheets.

In addition to providing concise and practical guidance on when and how to apply the tools, each instructional sheet contains links to external resources that you can access to learn more about each tool. In some cases, the sheets also briefly describe previous or ongoing OHCHR experiences in applying the method or technology.

Improving knowledge sharing at OHCHR is a constant work in progress and you are therefore encouraged to share your experiences in using the //Share, learn, innovate!// Toolkit. Please send your feedback to knowledgesharing@ohchr.org.
