Premise

Lifelong learning begins to happen when an individual learner or a group of learners drive the learning experience. With this as our ultimate aim, Singapore Learning Circles takes the first step for practitioners to initiate the practice of lifelong learning. Subsequently, through the benefits of a digital and blended platform, we prompt learners to do the same.

Description

To create blended (online and offline) learning circles driven by practitioners and learners on various topics enabling and empowering them to initiate the practice of learning leading to the greater contribution to the community and society-at-large. Our goal is to understand the challenges and opportunities for the citizens to adapt and excel in social and community based learning. We get started by reaching out and promoting this concept to various communities.

First inviting practitioners to initiate their learning circle, introducing them to the seed funding and finally nurturing them to achieve success in their efforts.

With a rapid onboarding, practitioners have an opportunity to deploy their expertize and content to serve the community.
