Something different tomorrow. As a sector the FE / Adult Learning sector (like other sectors I have worked in) can be guilty of just talking to ourselves. Not tomorrow! So proud of Katie Shaw Chris Butcher Kathleen Formosa and others from WEA - Adult Learning, Within Reach for pulling together a stellar panel from across a range of sectors to discuss the important role community based lifelong learning plays in improving health and wellbeing. Check out this list of contributors who are coming together at the fantastic Toynbee Hall, so grateful to you all.
