This gathering is a 6 session meetup series. It is part of our “circles” project, in which we organize small, high-commitment, volunteer-led groups that gather 4-8 weeks in a row around specific themes.

📚 BYOB: Bring Your Own Books 📚
do you need or want to study something on your own but lack the motivation and focus to stay consistent?

byob (“bring-your-own books”) is a circle for all kinds of learners, from students of formal study to working adults with various curiosities, to come together every week for a deep, focused study session for the topic of their choice. after the session, we convene and have each member share what they learned and answer questions posed by other members in a Q&A style.

the goal is simple: 1) get motivated to learn and 2) gain a deep understanding of your topic by explaining the concepts to others and identifying gaps in your knowledge.

the topic you bring to the session(s) can be anything of your choosing. feel free to bring something you have absolutely no knowledge or experience with if you so desire. we are just here to help each other learn new things in a relaxed environment.

(note: while the topic can be anything of your choosing, the plan is to host the study sessions in various libraries across tokyo so ideally choose something that doesn’t require producing sounds and drawing too much attention to yourself)

📅 This circle meet every weekend for 6 weeks, starting March 14th at 13.00
🔥 Signup closes March 2nd.

⭕ About Circles
Circles are small, volunteer-led, high-commitment groups that gather 4-8 weeks in a row around specific themes. With circles, we bring the best parts of college life to adulthood. Much like university clubs, circles allow you to dive into shared interests in unique topics and activities that otherwise lack a space to be explored in our lives. You can read more about the circles project, and see all circles we are hosting this round, on this page.
