NAVCA and the Workers'
Educational Association (WEA) are pleased to announce plans to
build closer links nationally and amongst members locally,
specifically working together on three specific projects. This
collaboration builds on NAVCA and WEA's shared interests, values
and policy positions.
NAVCA members and the WEA have a proud record of working in the
heart of local communities across the country. Much of that work
helps to promote more sustainable, confident localities and to
improve the quality of life for individuals and their communities.
Our shared values mean that working together is a natural step and
one we hope will increase the impact of our work.
The three projects that NAVCA and the WEA are collaborating on
are:
- Take Part
Regional Pathfinder Projects
Take Part helps people gain the skills, knowledge and confidence to
become empowered, enabling them to make an active contribution to
their communities and influence public policies and services.
- Take Part Training the Trainers
- The Learning
Revolution -
This is the government's White Paper on supporting informal adult
learning.
The projects will also draw support from the Government
Departments of Communities and Local Government and of Business,
Innovation and Skills.
NAVCA and the WEA are committed to build on this collaboration
nationally and are encouraging the same at local level through
increasing partnership and joint activity between NAVCA members and
WEA Regions and branches.
