INTRODUCTION
Use ‘Your Guide to Adult Learning in Three Rivers’ to help you to find local organisations that provide learning activities, support and FREE learning opportunities. See the A-Z of Local Learning Opportunities for a wide range of organisations that offer courses and classes. Not all are free, but many offer free Tasters for the learning festivals and during the year.
§ If you want help with Learning English or improving reading, writing or numbers see pages 3, 7, 13 & 14. § Please help or encourage someone you know to sign up.
You are invited to join in the Family Learning Festival: Saturday 15-Sunday 30 October 2011 § Three Rivers Learning Partnership with its Partners offers you FREE Tasters of Learning to celebrate the Festival providing a great opportunity to try something new . § Our family learning definition is very flexible; including friends as well as family, reflecting the range of support relationships that individuals rely on, and not necessarily involving more than one generation. § Where children attend they must be of the age specified and adults must stay for whole session § Most Tasters need to be booked but some are just turn up. § We hope you get along to some Tasters but if you miss something of interest, do contact the provider, there’s probably something similar on offer – just not necessarily free. § We hope that you enjoy learning in Three Rivers.
