Building Learning Communities and Workplaces: Supporting the potential of learning champions.
Monday 13 December 2004
Lakeside Conference Centre, Aston University

There is now a wealth of interesting practice in communities and workplaces. Yet much of it has developed in relative isolation with schemes grappling on their own with similar problems or unable to pass on expertise.
This conference will bring together practice and issues around peer learning champions from the workplace and communities. 
Those attending the conference will receive a copy of a study of learning champions and workplace representative projects in the West Midlands carried out by NIACE with support from the Government Office for the West Midlands (GOWM) during February and March 2004. The purpose was to establish the scale and shape of these initiatives in the region and to suggest ways of strengthening the approach. Whilst the focus is on the West Midlands, the study will be relevant to other regions.
The conference is intended to support concrete action. Those attending with experience of managing or sponsoring learning champions' schemes are urged to bring along practical examples of material that may be of interest to others e.g. training programmes, support materials, monitoring and evaluation schemes.
