INTRODUCTION
Three Rivers Guide to Adult Learning - What is it about? This Guide contains details of organisations providing learning activities and also many free learning opportunities.
Skills for Life, Information, Advice & Guidance & Job Search are listed first, then an A-Z of other learning opportunities. This A-Z contains organisations that offer a wide range of courses and classes although not all are free; but many organisations do offer special free Tasters for the Family Learning Festival and some throughout the year. If a Taster is on offer then it is likely that there are sessions in this activity at other times. We do hope that you get along to some of the Tasters, but if you do miss something that you are interested in, do contact the organisation as they probably have something similar on offer – just not necessarily free.
Do you, or does someone you know, need help with …? Learning English or improving reading, writing or maths, please look on the next page where there is help available. Booking: Please think about asking for, or giving someone, help with booking.
Who can join in the Family Learning Festival? Our family learning definition is very flexible; family members can include friends as well as family, reflecting the range of support relationships that individuals rely on in the 21 st century 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.
You are invited! Three Rivers Learning Partnership with their Partners offer you these FREE tasters of learning to celebrate the Family Learning Festival. We hope that you enjoy learning in Three Rivers. Most tasters need to be booked but some are just turn up. All activities are FREE & provide a great opportunity to try something new.
