The Democracy Learning Lab Guide

Outside Learning Resources 

We have identified a large number of individuals and organizations who could potentially contribute much to the Democracy Learning Lab. Our outreach efforts will include sending them information about the Learning Lab, and inviting them to contact us if they are interested. To the extent they are available, we could explore possibilities for zoom discussions, one-day intensives, weekend workshops, or even making site visits. Below are some of the possibilities.
