You’re invited to join P2PU’s open community call about facilitating learning circles online on Wednesday, April 8th, at 1 PM ET or in your local timezone.

What’s it like to facilitate an online meeting? And, how is facilitating a learning circle online any different?

This call will be an informal discussion for anyone interested in online facilitation or preparing to move their learning circles online. Those joining be encouraged to share their online facilitation strategies and also discuss challenges they are encountering or anticipating. Many helpful tips, tools and real examples have been shared recently we can discuss together.

I am new to this work, but am planning to be there! Looking forward to learning.

I hope to be there. I am extremely new to this scene. I was still only in the planning/dreaming stages of launching an in-person learning circle, and now having to think about remote facilitation. Lots to learn!

I will likely be lurking, but am looking forward to this. The LC on COVID-19 looks really fascinating.

I haven’t hosted a learning circle yet, but thinking about it. Also interested in how this might work for book club discussion so please count me in.
