NIACE Annual Autumn Policy Conference
Local Power and Adult Learning:
What can adult learning do for local government?
Monday 1 December 2008, London, 10:00am - 3:40pm

• How can adult learning support and extend the work of local authorities in developing vibrant, economically successful and socially inclusive communities for the twenty first century?

• How might government systems provide a framework for successful joining of learning and local government agendas at a time of system change?

The transformational power of learning is increasingly recognised as an important ingredient in a host of policy agendas.

NIACE has been in the forefront of work to win an understanding that there's much more to adult learning than day or evening classes.

This annual autumn policy conference will explore the added value that adult learning can bring to local policy, the partnerships that can be made, and will look at how policy makers and practitioners can work together. It will also look at how adult learning can be placed in councils' community strategies, in Local and Multi-Area Agreements and in the work of the Local Strategic Partnerships.

Audience
The event will be of interest to local government policy makers, adult education providers, those engaged in government agencies with a role in adult learning and senior practitioners.
