Association of Colleges
Campaigns
Welcome to the campaigns section of the AoC website.
This section provides you with the resources to promote current national campaigns and details of the partner organisations joining us in campaigning for our sector.
Public campaigning is an important component of the AoC’s overall representative and lobbying activity, complementing a range of other work undertaken by the AoC to promote the sector and influence the decisions of Government, public agencies and other stakeholders. It enables colleges to serve their communities, employers and students effectively, retaining their world class standards and reputation.
Community Cohesion
Community cohesion is high on the Government's agenda at the moment. AoC's publication
My College, My Community: Further education colleges and community cohesion
showcases colleges' important work in this area. The brochure also follows the close of the DIUS consultation on 'The role of further education providers in promoting community cohesion, fostering shared values and preventing violent extremism'. Click here to see AoC's response to this document.
