Learning Revolution Festival

In October the BIS are launching the Learning Revolution Festival to celebrate the wide range of informal adult learning on offer and raise awareness of the many positive benefits it brings to individuals, organisations and communities. Throughout the month, hundreds of events will give people a chance to celebrate what they enjoy and 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.

And you can bring your activity to a wider audience by publishing your event on your website and on The Learning Revolution website at www.direct.gov.uk/learningrevolution which will be live by the end of September.

BIS want to encourage as many people as possible to learn something new in October and we can help you to do this by providing support and guidance that you may need to get started. As a starting point, visit http://thelearningrevolution.ning.com/ where you can get tips and advice on putting on an event and publicising it as well as being able to join discussions with other organisations that share your passion for informal learning.
