The Festival of Learning

We all like to learn new things, go to new places and meet new people. The Learning Revolution Festival celebrates all kinds of informal adult learning and the difference learning makes to individuals, communities and organisations.

Throughout October, many events nationwide will highlight the wide variety of learning that’s taking place. The month will give people who are 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.
