Welcome to Peer 2 Peer University
Learning circles are free facilitated study groups for people who want to learn with others.
No expert required
Facilitators draw on peer learning principles and open educational resources to help learners reach their goals.

About P2PU
Born out of the 2008 Cape Town Open Education Declaration, P2PU is a US-based non-profit organization on a mission to cultivate peer learning communities in public spaces around the world. Since 2015, we have worked with libraries worldwide to offer empowering, community-based education in our towns and cities through a methodology called learning circles.
More About Us
I joined a learning circle so I could be in an environment where everyone is vested in the work and progress. Also, being able to share and receive feedback under the guidance of an engaged instructor-leader was a blessing!
P2PU neatly connects open educational resources to career pathways in an equitable and empowering way that few other organizations are even considering.
