Learningguild is an international educational and social movement based in Melbourne, Australia.

Membership is open to everyone who wants to go on learning and help others learn.

There is a wide range of activities, including not only Sunday Meetings (usually 3-4.30 and with a talk and discussion) followed by afternoon tea, but also correspondence, one-with-one tuition, writing for our twice-yearly magazine Learningguild Letter, producing and publishing books and booklets, and updating and adding to this very extensive website.

There are members who are teachers at Holy Mother Public School, Bharatpur, India, others (two students and a teacher) at South-West University, near Chongqing, China, and a Chinese doctoral student at Melbourne who at present has to pursue her research at home.

The President, Dr John Howes, welcomes comments and/or enquiries.  (See Contact.)  You can find out more about John here.
