A small group of people (normally between 7-12 participants) who during a certain time period repeatedly meet and carry out planned studies under the leadership of an accepted leader.
In a study circle work is built around:
- The participants' wish to learn more about the subject that will help them improve their own daily lives
- Egalitarian values where all are equal and have mutual respect for each other
- Effective communication among participants; as a result study circle members sit in a circle, facing each other
- All participants taking part in planning and implementing the work to be learnt
- Discussions where individuals share their experiences and knowledge
