What you need
Do it, step by step
Invite tiny lessons
Ask: “What could you help a beginner do in 15 minutes?†Think hemming, knife skills, rhythm, knots, or bike checks.
Coach the teachers
Each lesson needs one outcome, three steps, and a learner attempt. No lecture over three minutes.
Make a rotation grid
Run three 20-minute rounds with five-minute transitions. Limit each table to a workable number.
Open with reciprocity
Everyone has knowledge; nobody needs credentials to share within honest limits.
Capture the next connection
People post one skill offered and one wanted, with optional contact exchange.
Repeat monthly
Keep the structure and change the lessons. Invite learners to become teachers.
