ABOUT LEARNING LIFE
Learning Life is a Washington, DC-based nonprofit devoted to innovating education, democracy and diplomacy by spreading learning in everyday life beyond school walls. In our increasingly interconnected yet divided world, we develop innovative learning communities in order to widen and deepen participation in democracy and diplomacy.
With this mission in mind, we run two programs. The Family Diplomacy Initiative (FDI) connects people worldwide across lines of country, class, race and religion via the internet to share and learn together about families and citizen diplomacy with an eye to developing a corps of trained family diplomats to advocate for a more caring world via media, businesses, nonprofits and governments. Our Democracy Learning Community (DLC) is a growing association of individuals and organizations working together to strengthen democracy by developing engaging events, products, services and spaces that nurture fun, learning, networking, collaboration and wider, deeper citizen participation.
Besides informing you about our programs, this website also features an Education Page, which presents our educational credo, links to many of our articles on education, plus past educational projects, including a variety of quizzes, fact sheets and expert views.
Visit our News & Blog page for a closer look at Learning Life’s ideas, activities and participants, and our People Page to learn about the growing number of individuals advancing our work. Also, check out our social media pages on Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, and Pinterest for our latest posts, and follow us on any of these platforms.
