The Learning Pledge

The Learning Pledge

We are encouraging groups to sign up for the 'Learning Pledge.'
You can find it at: http://www.dius.gov.uk/skills/engaging_learners/informal_adult_learning/pledge
The pledge is a commitment by organisations signaling their intent to play a role in bringing the vision for informal learning to life. They will be important ambassadors and advocates for learning and a key driver for change and innovation on the ground.
Why have a pledge?
    * informal adult learning helps to build communities of confident, curious, critical and creative people
    * in pledging, your organisation becomes part of a wider movement and an ambassador for informal adult learning

What does the pledge involve?

There are seven overarching commitments. Organisations signing up to the pledge agree to:

    * support the core principles of informal learning and encourage others to sign up
    * advocate wider participation, especially for those who have benefited least from learning
    * find flexible ways of using our existing spaces, or opening up new spaces, for learning
    * encourage and support learning organised by people for themselves
    * embrace new ways of learning, including the use of technology and broadcasting
    * find and work with new partners to increase learning opportunities
    * celebrate our successes
