How Do You Start A Franklin Circle Adult Self Directed Learning Group?
• Find one or two like-minded learners, people who are interested in learning about the same things. One way to do this is to start (or attend) a meetup.com group.(See links below.) • Decide when and where you want to meet, how often you want to meet, and how you will conduct your meetings. • Franklin’s original group had two parts to each meeting • Members take turns making presentation to the group. • Members address Standing Queries. (See Benjamin Franklin’s Autobiography for information about the format and Standing Queries used by Franklin’s original group, what he called the Junto.) Invite new people to attend each meeting until you have 12 people who are mutually acceptable to each other.
