Bring your community together with a lifelong learning experience. Learning Circles can take place anywhere. They will be adapted to all ages and learning levels. Learning material will be presented with a facilitator to provide assistance, but there will be no teacher or expert. We learn together. Circles are based on peer learning, community and equity for creative and sustainable learning communities.
