Developing Learning for Active Citizenship

A national event is being held in Birmingham to raise the profile of learning for active citizenship. The Department for Business Innovation (BIS) and the WEA have organised this event inviting practitioners, organisers and managers in further education, adult and community and workplace learning. It is an opportunity for participants to share their experience, skills and methods in order to identify ways of boosting learning for active citizenship. The event will also be used to build a national network of active citizenship educators/facilitators.

The event is in connection to the Active Citizenship project that WEA Yorkshire and Humber region are leading to develop new active citizenship courses.

The event will take place on Thursday the 18th March 2010 and is free to attend.
