Introduce yourself!

Hello, I am excited to start learning how to build and facilitate a learning circle so that I can start some at my regional library branch. Others have led and completed an ASL beginner course and will be starting the intermediate later this year. I would love to add new leaning opportunities for our customers.

Hi @Emily_Smith! Nice to have you here.

Here’s where folks have been discussing online learning circles >> How do we learn together when we can't meet together? (a place to talk about how we're responding to COVID-19)

Yo! Welcome! Nice to hear about IWCE. We would love to hear more about it. I assume you might be connected to the Ragged University folks? By the way, you might also be interested in seeing light overview of study circle history that I compiled.

Hello Jill. This is Luis Campos, from Spain. I am doing my thesis (PhD) about communities for the common good (within Economy for the Common Good, Felber’s model). One of the assessment implied is on barriers to disability. Would you be so kind to evaluate that scale from your experience? (forgive my poor English!).

Hello! My name is Helen Christian and I am interested in learning how learning circles work, and how I can train tutors and adult learners to use P2PU for learning English and preparing for Citizenship. My hope is that eventually tutors and learners take classes on other topics together, and that learners becomes facilitators as well. Thank you!
