FractalU comes to Boston! Ok, more like Somerville, but we have big plans!

Inspired by FractalU in NYC, we’re running DIY educational experiments around the city, in third spaces ranging from dance studios to cozy living rooms.

The goals are to challenge ourselves, gain new & actionable skills, and follow our curiosity, because education should be a lifelong pursuit. Plus, learning is fun, and cool peers make excellent friends.

Summer Semester runs 6 weeks, from June 30 to August 8.

DEADLINE: Summer courses are filling up! Signups close on Monday, June 23. Be sure to apply for your classes before the deadline!

Negotiation is a key skill at every level of every organization, in every age and every country. We negotiate with potential employers, co-workers, bosses, landlords, merchants, partners, parents, children, friends, roommates, and many others. Our negotiation skills affect the prices we pay, the salary we earn, the movies we watch, and who cleans up the kitchen.

While there's no strategy that works across all situations, there is still tremendous value in thinking through the elements that generally lead to successful negotiation. Along with readings, and discussion, students will engage in a number of simulated negotiations.
