Editing Study circle (section)

[[File:Team_work.jpg | thumb | right]]A '''study circle''' is a small group of people who meet multiple times to discuss an issue. Study circles may be formed to discuss anything from politics to religion to [[hobby|hobbies]] with a minimum of 7 people to a maximum of 15. These study circles are formed by a study circle organiser, and are led by a study circle leader. Study circle doesn't have a teacher. They are differentiated from [[Club (organization)|club]]s by their focus on exploring an issue or topic rather than on activities or socializing. When they emerged in the early twentieth century they were based on a democratic approach to self-education and were often linked to social movements concerned with [[temperance movement|temperance]] or [[working class]] [[emancipation]].<ref name="Larsson & Nordvall">{{cite tech report |last1=Larsson |first1=Staffan |last2=Nordvall |first2=Henrik |date=July 2010 |title=Study circles in Sweden: an overview with a bibliography of international literature |series=Studies in adult, popular and higher education |location=Linköping |institution=[[Linköping University]] Electronic Press |issn=1654-2010 |url=https://www.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:328351/FULLTEXT01.pdf}}
