English term or phrase: learning, new conversations
bonjour à tous,

je ne comprends pas bien la séquence qui suit "a catalyst for" dans la phrase ci-dessous.

"this publication will serve as a catalyst for learning, new conversations and experimentation around M&E by women’s organizations"

faut-il comprendre "learning" comme un susbstantif ou comme verbe? la virgule me pose problème ici.

je vous remercie par avance d'accepter de vous pencher sur la question et de m'éclairer un peu.

Explanation:
La virgule dans cette phrase indique que learning n'est pas un verbe mais fait parti d'une enumeration. Si la virgule n'etait pas la, cela indiquerait que learning s'applique directement a "new conversations".
