The Learning and Development Roundtable was founded in 2012 to support a community of practice focused on learning, education and training.
Our vision is to build and sustain a vibrant, engaged learning community where members participate in interactive workshops designed to educate, inspire and reinforce learning in a variety of diverse formats for diverse learners.
Membership Benefits
- Add to your professional development through a once per month, engaging, interactive, two-hour workshop each designed around a particular topic that serves the members’ needs. Past topics have included workshops on themes such as professional skill development, leadership and organizational development, ICTs and more.
- Meet and learn from guest speakers and diverse members in a comfortable, innovative learning environment. Members include UN, corporate, NGO, INGO, government, educational institutions, entrepreneurs, etc.

Logistics
- Meetings are held on the third Friday of each month from 10 am to noon at the UN in Nairobi.
- Members can participate in person or online (through a tool called Zoom, which is like Skype but better). New to Zoom? Here are some tips to get you up and running quickly and comfortably.
- An optional (personal) donation of 1000Ksh is requested which is put towards supporting a Kenyan education-based group that members select once a year.
