Our approach has always been to develop relationships and establish partnerships. We build by networking both online and face to face on this and by travelling to distant places and hosting visits here in Cambridge. Our goal is to nurture and extend the dialogue through which knowledge is created and subjected to the test of practicality.

LfL welcomes invitations to design study tours for groups interested in our work and partners. Recent visitors included senior officers in the Hong Kong Government department of the Education Bureau who spent time with colleagues from Children’s University and the Somerset based Learning to Lead project.
