At the "Learning Fair" in Lyon, France, experts have 20 minutes to teach their audience about their area of expertise in science, arts and others.  So how much can you pick up in 20 minutes? For the most part,  the workshops are an invitation for people to learn more about the subjects on their own. As one of the organisers points out: "I would call it “speed sharing”, because it's more about sharing and exchanging than learning. “

There is a lot of practical knowledge to be gained, and there is no pressure to become an expert - you are invited to sit back and think.  This learning event is a coming together of organisers, instructors and participants. All of them eager to share the spirit of learning and create a better life for their communities.
