Description

1.

"Skillshare is a community marketplace to learn anything from anyone. We believe that everyone has something they want to learn and something they can teach to others. This means our communities are really the greatest universities. Our platform helps make the exchange of knowledge easy, enriching, and fun." (http://www.skillshare.com/about)

2.

"The idea behind a skillshare is that everyone has valuable knowledge, gifts and insights to share, and a casual, peer-to-peer learning environment is a good way to share these offerings with others."
