WEA Leicester and Leicestershire

As part of #SouthAsianHeritageMonth (18 Jul-17 Aug), we're celebrating w/local communities! Earlier this month @wea101 collaborated with @mycoopfood to deliver Healthy Choices workshop to members @Belgravecoop Thank you @KarenBa1965 for being a perfect host!

The team have established a partnership with the Department for Work and Pensions and Mears Housing to deliver courses for refugees in Leicester. WEA tutor Nicky engaged prospective learners through learning activities focussing on Art to develop their confidence.

This announcement from @leicesterliz makes sense. @WEAadulted have a number of strong relationships with JCP across the country and can quickly roll out support to those adults who need it most.

WEA Tutor Nicky has worked with learners at Welly's Work Place to support them develop confidence for life & work. Skills acquired enabled learners to set-up social enterprises, earn an income through selling items produced & give back to the community.

Another fabulous Celebration of Learning Event at the Adhar Project in Leicester. Learners, service managers and families were invited to view the exhibition showcasing art work produced by learners through the academic year. Certificates of attendance were awarded by Tutor Nicky

Great Celebration of Learning Event today at West End Neighbourhood Centre. Learners were awarded certificates by Education Coordinator Deborah Walsh to recognise the knowledge, skills and behaviours developed as a direct result of learning with @WEAadulted
