Citizen Circles System

Description
"Citizen circles are the best schools we've never had: small groups which come together for several weeks where participants live, work, or play to learn new skills and share them with the world by taking action. This process is empowering, preparing individuals with the skills and hope to help solve the world's complex social problems.
Every citizen circle topic is proposed, designed and run by its participants, building from the shared experience and open resources of the citizen circles network. Every citizen circle can also spread and interact with an unlimited number of citizen circles around the same theme globally, combining face-to-face learning and global interaction in a simple and powerful way.
Citizen circles are recognized and supported by partners such as AshokaU, the Centre for Social Innovation in Toronto, the Transformative Action Institute, and Night Train Consulting." (http://www.citizencircles.com/)
