Peer Learning :: The Wealth of Knowledge is in the Room
Does it bother you to sit a room with hundreds of great minds and not have the opportunity to
actively learn from them? StartingBloc believes that the wealth of knowledge is in the room and
the time has come to unleash it.
StartingBloc candidates enriched their experience by learning something new from their peers,
and teaching something return. With the belief that everyone is an expert in something,
candidates will be split into groups to teach topics ranging from salsa dancing to tax law.
Candidates will left the session with newfound knowledge and and a tight bond with their peers,
having gone through an experience that is humbling by nature. What can you teach the world?
