Learning Circles Learning Circles bring together groups of LLC participants to foster and support collective learning and generate useful knowledge on an ongoing basis that can have a positive impact for all who share a commitment to leadership development. In some cases circles are organized around specific themes, in other cases those who share a common identity or issue focus may form an affinity circle, e.g. the funders learning circle or the health leadership circle.

Circles are also convened within regions recognizing the importance of proximity that may enable a diverse group of stakeholders to meet face to face to pursue learning and to share with one another on a broad range of issues.

All of the LLC circles are expected to document and share the results of their inquiry with the broader community through the LLC website and at regional and national meetings. Many of our circles have been using external wikis to document their work over the last year. View the list of learning circles to the right.

Creating Space Each year, LLC brings together folks in a national meeting (with some international participation) called Creating Space. The participants share and deepen the learning of the various circles and labs and generates questions and emerging themes that guide our work for the coming year.

Learning Labs and Other Opportunities LLC also convenes short-term learning events such as learning labs which are usually created to develop learning teams around a particular goal or purpose. See the calendar below to learn about upcoming opportunities and events.
