Cycles

Learning cycles describe how evidence is generated, interpreted, taken up, and acted upon.

In many settings, evidence circulates without producing learning: reports are written, findings are presented, and lessons are noted, yet practice remains unchanged.

LUCA focuses on the full cycle — from inquiry and sensemaking to decision, action, and reflection — and on the points where learning commonly breaks down.

Cycles are shaped by both landscape and pathway, and in turn reshape them over time.
