ABOUT US

The Brooklyn Skillshare is a community-based, community-led, & community-building learning events organized and taught by Brooklyn residents.

MISSION STATEMENT

Education is a right, not a commodity. We are all students and teachers, and we believe that everyone has something to teach and to learn from each other. The Brooklyn Skillshare is a communal, hands-on, learning experience that aims to serve as a jumping-off point in the construction of an autonomous, nonexclusive, reciprocal learning community.
