Valuing Enrichment Webinar
Venue: Online via Zoom
Date: 10 June 2024
Time: 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Fee: Free to attend
Enrichment activities have a unique role in empowering young people with the skills, confidence, self-esteem and awareness they need to be lifelong learners and engaged citizens. Yet colleges’ ability to offer enrichment has been eroded by more than a decade of funding cuts. Together with the University of Derby, and funded by NCFE, the Valuing Enrichment Report has demonstrated, through research, the huge role enrichment activities play in preparing students for employment and careers.
Join us for an insightful roundtable discussion on the value of
enrichment, aligned with the vision of fostering lifelong learning where every
individual can thrive.
Join the conversation and stay up-to-date with the latest news: AoC_Info
