Learn new skills to help you at home as well as at work
-
Give you a chance to spend time together
You can take part in the Festival by either:

The Learning Revolution Festival
This year the Family Learning Festival is part of The Learning Revolution Festival. The Learning Revolution Festival celebrates all kinds of informal adult learning and the difference learning makes to individuals, communities and organisations. Throughout October 2009, hundreds of events will highlight the wide variety of learning that's taking place. The month will give people who already taking part in informal learning a chance to celebrate what they enjoy and others the opportunity to try something new. Libraries, galleries, adult education providers, sports clubs, voluntary organisations, self organised groups and many other organisations can get involved by showcasing activities that are already available and offering, or signposting, new activities to get people started.
It’s all part of the Learning Revolution – a movement to open up opportunities and highlight the real benefits of learning for enjoyment, personal development and community development. To find your nearest Learning Revolution Festival event or find out how you can encourage others to get involved, go to www.direct.gov.uk/learningrevolution
