Events

In partnership with Bath Spa University and the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS) the Foundation will be putting on a series of three events through the Community Development Network. 

The aim of the events is to bring together Voluntary and Community groups with learning providers to look at how the two sectors can work better together and to consider partnerships. These events include Women and Learning, Communities and Learning providers working together and developing communities through learning.

A partnership of The Federation for Community Development Learning, South West Foundation and the School of Education at Bath Spa University held a conference at the Bath Spa campus in late July. Just when they thought that it was all over, John Holman caught Jan Crawley of the South West Foundation, Jim Crawley of Bath Spa University, and Janice Marks and Dean T. Huggins of the Federation for Community Development Learning over a coffee and recorded this "wrap up" video for Transition Vision's Community Channel
