Online Learning Circles

Led by a rotating team of two facilitators, each circle will meet online on specific Fridays in the year from 10am-5pm. The dates will be fixed at the beginning of each academic year.

The membership of the circles will be formed at the beginning of the year and new members can only join at the start of each year. It will consist of no more than 16 people and will offer a mixture of full group and small group work.

The cost of participation in a circle costs £125 per day.

What is a learning circle?

The term ‘learning circle’ has evolved to describe group endeavours that support social change. Learning circles seek to empower their participants, supporting choice, action and growth. A learning circle in adult education often contains the principles of equal (but different) participation, mutuality, and valuing the wisdom of the collective.

We are committed to anti-oppressive practice and our approach is grounded in the belief that every individual deserves respect, dignity, and the opportunity to thrive free from systemic barriers and discrimination.
