Back to events list
At this event, the project teams will hold workshops and discussions about their experiences of being involved in NRDC's work, and will present some of the initial findings. The projects address the broad theme "and they include: * City of Sunderland YMCA Foyer - Literacy and numeracy practices in a peer education project for young people at risk * Essex County Council Adult Community Learning - Weaving reading for pleasure into adult literacy curriculum * York College - Creative approaches to overcoming barriers to leaning with young offenders on Skills for Life programmes - tried and tested * Exeter Council for Voluntary Service - Soft Currency * Dewsbury College - Learners, tutors and action research: instigating learner centred research in Skills for Life The 3 year overall Practitioner-led Research Initiative has allowed time for practitioners to reflect, engage and discuss with both learners and colleagues the issues that affect their own practice. In addition projects have helped contribute to a reflective research culture within the Colleges, developing activities that created learning communities that include learners, tutors and managers. This last event will be an opportunity to review the NRDC's practitioner involvement in research as it grew through the Practitioner-led Research Initiative and consider how this links with the issues raised in other areas of NRDC research. There will be no charge for the event, however, this year the number of places at the event is limited to only 100 and therefore we would be grateful if you could complete the attached form indicating your interest as soon as possible.
