What is our purpose?
To create sustainable learning and work environments that are accessible to all.
How are we sustainable?
By being self-supporting through the efforts of our members.
Who are our members?
Those with a demonstrable commitment to our purpose.
How do members demonstrate commitment?
By contributing their time or resources to helping us realise our purpose (and by having done so for a period of not less than 12 months).
What do we mean by accessible to all?
That nobody who wishes to learn is excluded from the opportunity to do so through lack of resources.
How do we learn?
Largely in collaboration with our peers and by helping others to learn.
How is our space organised?
In 4 connected parts:
- A co-working space for members and mentors.
- A classroom for students.
- An open study space for the general public.
- A dining space where people can meet and share food.
How do we help others to learn?
By mentoring others and by creating learning materials.
What sort of learning materials do we create?
We create patterns of knowledge, after the work of Chistopher Alexander, A Pattern Language.
