Our Approach

To work effectively, peer learning needs guidance and structure. As when developing a new personal habit at an individual level, a careful process of introduction to the team or organisation is needed, based on their specific requirements and cultures.

We do this by:

‍Designing learning journeys, peer-mentoring systems and skill-sharing events which enable peer learning and exchange.
‍Facilitating sessions for you and your participants, and providing training and support for rotating facilitation systems within the group.
Drawing on our Living Library, where we have consolidated research findings, methods and frameworks, and practical experiences.
Setting up simple and easy-to-use toolboxes and templates for effective peer-learning formats.
Integrating selected methods such as buddy systems or coaching circles into your existing internal and external formats.
Co-developing a strategy to embed peer learning into your organisation or network, including linking it to your talent development strategy.

The workshop with Unity Effect with our community managers was great! I was very enthusiastic about the relaxed and open-minded atmosphere created by the speakers. I felt like I was in a safe space and we were able to learn a lot from each other's experiences.

Together with the Unity Effect team, we piloted the ‘Learning Circle’ peer-learning format with very diverse target groups in 2023. Their broad wealth of experience and great reliability and flexibility to adapt to ever-new contexts were hugely enriching, both for us in the collaboration and for the Learning Circle participants.
