ABSTRACT
The creation of a virtual community of practices for trainers’ educators is a part of the doctorate's narrative inquiry, in process, which has its main goal in (re)gathering trainers’ educators' narratives to organize a collection of records that may be a source of knowledge for these professionals. The trainers have always had good stories to tell, as well as teachers and educational professionals, but they have not always written about or shared them. There are inspiring and happy narratives; there are others that are inspiring and sad; and some which are not inspiring, but are very powerful to reflect on the performance and the working conditions which are offered to these professionals on continuing education programs, among other aspects. Since there is little literature on this subject, we consider there is still much to discover through the voice of the trainer’s educator, who can contribute to broadening the corpus of knowledge about these professionals and their field of activity. To access these stories, the creation of a device was necessary to enable and mobilize the writing of experiential knowledge productions, in narrative and formative aspects. In this text, we intend to share the process of creating and managing a private group on a social network - during its first two months of operation - and what we, as narrative inquirers, have learned and reflected from the engagement of preparing and monitoring the posts and the reactions in the group.
