Design Solution
"Learning circles, generically described, are small diverse, democratic groups of people (generally 6-12 ) who meet regularly over a specified period of time to focus their different perspectives into a common understanding of an issue or problem. The discussion take place in an atmosphere of mutual trust and understanding. The goal is deeper understanding by the participants and their efforts are often directed towards the construction of a final product or recommendation for a course of action." 1
