We believe that lasting social change happens within small groups of people at the local level working in homes, on the street, in schools and colleges, on the playing field, at places of work and worship, in the halls of governance.
People need to talk about their hopes, their fears and what they and their children need to learn to survive and thrive in our rapidly changing world. Through conversations they devise strategies for solving their problems and realizing their hopes for the future. They build infrastructures for learning – clubs, schools, playing fields, maker spaces, online social media events, workplace mentoring programs, self-help groups for parents. Open Portal Networks exist to connect you with others who share your dreams for learning.
