Welcome to Calliope, a Los Altos Institute Project. Our institute administers a shared course registration platform for our courses and those of other Old Growth Left organizations that join our course delivery consortium. While our organizations are allies for the purpose of delivering online courses and other projects, we wish to make clear that the groups using Calliope do not have the same ideologies and objectives. We are inclusive of reformists and revolutionaries, anthropocentrists and biocentrists, secular and religious groups. We share a commitment to solidarity, free speech, public education and strategic cooperation.
All courses are delivered live, online, via Zoom.
