Somerset County Council aimed to place sustainable development at the heart of informal learning by supporting local communities to develop the skills of sustainable living and working. Five community venues were opened up as learning spaces and learners were able to access a wide range of activities including free IT drop-in sessions, sustainable living, access to cultural monuments and a week-long exploration of the work of Transition Towns. A celebration event was held at the end of the project that attracted 243 learners. Use of digital technology supported and enabled the sustainability theme of the project.
