"I joined a learning circle so I could be in an environment where everyone is vested in the work and progress. Also, being able to share and receive feedback under the guidance of an engaged instructor-leader was a blessing!" Lloyd Learning Circle Participant Boston Public Library "To have such a program here in Detroit is a valuable resource for us to participate in...if it was not for Peer 2 Peer University I would probably still be working on finishing my book." Melvin Learning Circle Participant Detroit Public Library Explore learning circles Anybody can start their own learning circle We maintain software tools, facilitation resources, and a global community forum to help you succeed. "The very act of making education accessible, free, and learner-driven is the heart of democracy. Here in Chicago, an incredibly segregated city, I've seen learning circles be agents of social justice: they have brought people of all races, ages, and social classes, and helped them form bonds they might otherwise not have the opportunity to form." Shelley Learning Circle Facilitator Chicago Public Library "For me, learning circles and peer learning means that every opinion counts and is valid. We are only humans, and challenges make us strong." Kaltuma Learning Circle Facilitator Kenya National Library Service (Buru Buru Branch) "I realized that learning as a group is easier than learning alone. I never thought it would be so interesting." Joan Learning Circle Facilitator Kenya National Library Service (Meru Branch) "As an immigrant myself I seek opportunities to help families learn English much like my family was helped when we arrived here. Perhaps one day someone I helped will pay it forward and help someone else." Manny Learning Circle Facilitator Notre Dame Education Center (Boston) "People want to learn how to use computers but they haven't had success sitting in a class listening to an "expert" tell them how. Learning circles have been a great way to attract digital literacy learners by offering something new and peer-centered."
