Learning Week Roadshow at Chatham



Adult Learners Week finished today with a Learning Fair at the Red Star Centre in Chatham, where the theme was "Learning? It's a piece of cake". Everyone who undertook a Skills for Life assessment or completed a Learning Needs Questionnaire were given a piece of gateau or cream cake to enjoy with their drink whilst browsing the other activities that were taking place.


We had video screens showing clips from our roadshows that had taken place earlier in the week, and a fantastic BBC RaW corner offering learners the chance to take 'Quick Read' books away with them. Our BSL signing expert was on hand to explain about learning sign language, we also demonstrated digital photography and were also visited by representatives from all three Rail Unions.


Everyone involved in Learning Week had a fantastic time and really enjoyed meeting all of the staff. We're looking forward to starting some new courses very soon, including Basic Computer Skills starting in just over 3 weeks.

See you there!

I hope you'll allow me to add to your report on Adult Learners' Week that the Esperanto Association of Britain offers a free Esperanto postal course. Suitable for those who would like a quick taster, this course gives an overview of the language in twelve bite-sized portions. Once you have received the first lesson, simply return your answers with an SAE. Your tutor will reply with guidance and the next lesson. All learners pay is postage! Tel: 0845 230 1887 or write to:
