Sustainability is theme of learning day

The Campaign for Learning (CfL) has announced that “sustainable workplaces” will be the theme of National Learning at Work Day 2008 on Thursday 22 May.

Organised by CfL as part of Adult Learners’ Week (17–23 May), the day – which aims to promote and support workplace learning events across England, and is supported by many unions – will have an emphasis this year on the environment, work/life balance and learning through life.

A dedicated area has been set up on the CfL website for union learning reps wanting to get involved in Learning at Work Day. Resources including action plans, tailored materials and case studies designed to help reps run a successful event can be obtained by visiting www.campaign-for-learning.org.uk/cfl/workplacelearning/lawday/index.asp and clicking on “Take part”.

The website also contains details of a series of half-day events being held around the country for anyone involved in planning a learning activity.
