INTRODUCTION:
The national committee for experiential knowledge in health promotion (EKHP) aims to promote EKHP and foster professional practices. Since 2017, the committee has created methods and toolkits formalizing the capitalization of EKHP. The levers to put the method into practice are in place, now comes the time to find the best means to foster promotion and appropriation of EKHP works.

METHODS:
The national EKHP resource center has been launched in May 2022, online: www.capitalisationsante.fr. It acts as a database where HP practitioners can read, download and upload EKHP capitalization works (~12-page documents detailing one HP intervention each) and cross-analyses reports. It is driven by three main

OBJECTIVES:
1/ promoting and disseminating HP practitioners’ experiential knowledge, 2/ building a community of practice to improve capitalization practices and 3/ making a useful and transferable data available to practitioners, researchers, etc.

RESULTS:
The now three-year-old website has been visited by 86 000+ individuals. More than 165 works, 13 cross-analyses are published. They were submitted by trained HP practitioners and reviewed by an editorial board before publication. The national EKHP resource center offers insight on how HP interventions work from practitioners themselves who share knowledge on their implementation. Compared to best-practices portals, it offers an innovative bottom-up approach to knowledge transfer. The community of practice (CoP) now supports a network of 300+ trained practitioners. This CoP aims to improve knowledge management and ensure the quality of the works produced. Surveys and feedback show that both building up and accessing EKHP meet a high level of interest.

CONCLUSIONS:
The innovative bottom-up approach and the focus on knowledge management can serve as a model for other settings/countries. In 2026, levers of appropriation are investigated and collaboration with other HP resource centers will be better identified.
