Rotunda, a community learning resource, led a project that aimed to revive the joy of learning in people who have previously had negative experiences. An advocacy choir was formed, allowing learners to give voice to their opinions and experiences; arts workshops spurred creativity within the community. An additional focus on health and wellbeing saw the provision of taster courses in complementary therapies. The project used spaces such as GP surgeries, children’s centres and schools to take learning into the heart of the community and break associations with traditional classroom structures.
