Join this free learning circle for adults called "Art of Storytelling"! The group will meet each Thursday for six weeks at Olneyville Library. The content from this course was created by Pixar, made available by Khan Academy, and will be facilitated by a library staff member.
What is a learning circle?
College Unbound and Peer 2 Peer University have partnered to create free, credit-bearing, and credentialed learning opportunities for adults that are hosted in libraries, community nonprofits, and any space where lifelong learning is valued.
These learning opportunities, known as learning circles, are peer-facilitated groups that go through college level course content, and can be taken for fun, for College Unbound college credit, and/or for employer-facing credentials.
For those interested in College Unbound credit: This learning circle can earn between 1.0 - 3.0 credit hours. (Completion of the learning journal can earn 1.0 credit, while an additional 2.0 credits are possible through the completion of two "storybook" assignments.)
About this course:
