Act on Climate: A Learning Circle


If you would like to investigate climate change with an eye to figuring out steps you can take to address and respond to it then make plans to join our learning circle.  

In a learning circle, you sign up for an online class to take individually and then meet with your learning circle to work and think through the class materials.  The learning circle provides you the additional support you need to finish the class as well as giving you the richness of peer feedback to help you refine what you are learning.

Our learning circle will be taking the University of Michigan’s online class - Act on Climate: Steps to Individual, Community, and Political Action. Read the course description, preview the syllabus, and enroll here: https://www.coursera.org/learn/act-on-climate

Our learning circle will meet weekly via Zoom on Tuesday evenings from 6:00 to 7:30 beginning on January 5 and ending on February 23.  The January 5 meeting will be a shorter orientation session where we introduce ourselves, make sure everyone is correctly enrolled & any lingering questions are answered, and decide collectively on the procedures we will follow.

Enroll at P2PU (https://learningcircles.p2pu.org/en/signup/online-1497/) to make it easy for me to get in touch with you and/or by emailing ayosco@lapl.org.  Meeting links will be sent to enrolled students each Monday via email.

So start the New Year by putting your brain to work learning something that will help you make positive change in the world!
