Let’s Start a Learning Revolution
There’s a lot of talk about an education crisis, but we feel what’s really going on is a “learning crisis”. Let’s refocus the conversation on learning. Who says learning can only take place within the four walls of a classroom? Who says you stop learning after college?
We believe that the enriching environment of college—a place to learn, explore, and grow together—is available right here in your neighborhood. That’s because the community is the world’s largest university. Everyone has something new they want to learn, and everyone has something they know a lot about and can teach to others. When we tap into this bountiful resource, we can truly start a Learning Revolution.
How you can create change
Sign up today for Skillshare. Challenge the notion that learning only happens in schools by teaching and learning through Skillshare. It’s time we put to rest these unhelpful assumptions that have kept people from learning for too long.
