A New Learning Adventure for Third Agers
Lancaster University
This project aimed to create a learning community across South Gloucestershire, by creating and training a team of community learning champions and volunteer coordinators. These champions and volunteers then worked with partner organisations to offer open days with taster sessions. Following this, specific courses were delivered to engage and support adults in a wide range of learning activities, the most popular of which were line dancing, drawing, photography, jewellery and beauty therapy. This project worked to develop the learning infrastructure by creating new partnerships between organisations and as such the champions and volunteers have developed their knowledge about different learning providers in the community.
