Adult Learning Conference

Cumbria can lay claim to a vibrant and diverse adult learning sector. Much of this learning, both formal and informal, is already contributing to the delivery of most of the outcomes in Cumbria’s Local Area Agreement (LAA). This contribution is often unrecognised, and its full potential is therefore yet to be realised. Join us to explore, through a mixture of case studies from other parts of the country and good practice examples from within the county, how we can move adult learning from the margins to the mainstream.

Conference Aims

• Demonstrate adult learning’s role in delivering on Cumbria’s Local Area Agreement
• Encourage the building of powerful partnerships to secure sustainable funding
• Showcase good practice and celebrate learner achievements
• Strengthen and grow Cumbria’s Personal and Community Development Learning Partnership

Workshops

Workshops have been organised under LAA themes to show how providers, from both the statutory and voluntary sectors, have and could use learning to help deliver on key outcomes – you will be able to attend one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

Date and venue

Wednesday 21 May 2008 from 9.45 am to 4.00 pm at Carlisle Racecourse.
