Union Learning Reps Network Meeting





Today was the ULR Network Meeting in London, and some of our Southeastern RULR's attended amongst the many attendees.

The morning started (after coffee and biscuits) with a fascinating presentation on 'Understanding Dyslexia' by Derek Kennedy of BFAWU. It was extremely useful, and raised a lot of interesting questions from the reps. After a mid-morning break, Natasha Owusu discussed Learning at Work Day (what events were held, and how to obtain funding), before watching a presentation from the Metroline ULR about their Learning at Work event and mobile learning centre buses!

The meeting was a good opportunity to meet other reps, and I would recommend all RULR's attending later in the year when the next meeting is held. Visit www.unionlearn.org for further details.

We know Derek! He has done work for us, and some Southeastern staff have reason to think fondly of him! Seriously though, he gave up a lot of his own time to travel a long way just for us! What a nice man!
