Hi Todd, welcome to our community! Glad to have you. If you’re interested in joining a learning circle near you (or online), you can find upcoming learning circles here!

If you’re interested in starting a learning circle of your own to learn with other people who share your interests, a great place to start is our topic guide to Computer Programming that has courses and tips for facilitators interested in this subject. You can also check out our Knowledge Base to learn more about the basics of facilitation.

We’re hosting a monthly call on December 7th (RSVP) for current facilitators to ask questions and share experiences. We also have a Facilitator Orientation happening February 15th (RSVP), which is a great space to get a general overview to facilitation.

Let us know if you have any questions about getting started with learning circles - always happy to help!

Hi Jordan, I’m really excited that you’ve joined us and would love to help you start a learning circle on this topic!

Anyone can start a learning circle to learn with other people who share their interests - here are the basics of facilitation! The Ellen MacArthur Foundation lists a variety of online courses about circular economics, and once you find a course that you’d like to facilitate (let’s use this one as an example), you can add it to our website. Once it’s added to our website, you can start a learning circle that other learners can join - here are some instructions!

For more ideas, you can visit ur topic guide on Climate Change designed to help facilitators find courses and tips on the subject.

We’d love to help you get started however we can, and you can email us at thepeople@p2pu.org with questions. You can also join our facilitator call on December 7th to ask questions and get support!

Hey, everyone! I’m Fábio and I’ve been facilitating a course for teachers of English and this year we’ve been expanding the community so I was reminded of the P2PU platform and I’m thinking of using the learning circles to run my Teacher’s Club and perhapps expand to everyone else here. We’ll be exploring topics ranging from teaching languages to brain science and others. I hope to connect with others interested in joining our circle and/or people who are simply interested in discussing the dynamics of facilitation and the P2PU platform.

Hey Everyone,

I’m Jeff Gilpin. I recently retired and I found P2PU.Org looking for writing guides, writing interests, and other people who may be interested in #writing like I am. I enjoy writing songs for the guitar that I perform and post on my SoundCloud and I also write haiku daily that I post on a Facebook page I created (One Haiku a Day) and on Twitter or X as it’s now called (#onehaikuaday), but I still need to write more. I read/listen/watch a lot of fiction and some non-fiction as well, and I have always wanted to write my own stories just to entertain. I still want to write for the sake of writing and see where it takes me. I find the whole process rewarding. I also enjoy sharing creative ideas with like-minded people, if there are any out there.

Welcome @Fabio_Luis_da_Cunha @Sabit_Ahmed @Dosse_SOSSOUGA @Jeff_Gilpin and @Gaia_Zonca.

We have a community call coming up on the 15th of November if you’d like to ask any questions or here more about what P2PU does. See our events page on how to join the call.

Hi @Fabio_Luis_da_Cunha - did you end up using learning circles for Teachers Club?

#487

Hi @Sabit_Ahmed . I don’t know where you’re based, but you can keep an eye on Explore Learning Circles to see if there are any learning circles on programming that either meets online or in your area.

There are also many self study programming courses and communities online. A community that I’ve heard being recommended multiple times is https://www.freecodecamp.org/.

If you know anyone in your vicinity that also wants to learn Python, you could always start your own learning circle and learn together!

#488

Hi @Jeff_Gilpin. There have been several learning circles on writing fiction that used this course. Currently there aren’t any active learning circles happening, but you can keep an eye out to see when one pops up near you.

#489

Hi @Gaia_Zonca, you can have a look on Explore Learning Circles or Teams to see if anything is happening close to you. If not, you could approach your local library to find out what opportunities there are for you to learn new skills or share your knowledge.
