[cma-l] Informal Adult Learning Strategy - community media's role

[Jaqui Devereux]

Dear all

We are working with the Dept of Innovation, Universities & Skills to 
contribute to the development of the IAL Strategy.  This strategy will 
lay out the government's plans for informal adult learning in the 21st 
century.  They are particularly interested in the impact of technology 
(not just ICT) as an aid and as a barrier to learning.

They currently position the community media sector in the broadcaster 
slot, which is OK, but they are now aware of how much more you do in the 
informal adult learning field, as motivators, training providers and 
sign-posters.

To strengthen what we are saying on your behalf, we would really like 
some up to date evidence from you, in confidence of course:

1	Numbers trained per annum
2	Target groups/commmunities
3	Training undertaken - both informal and formal (split if possible 
between basic/lifeskills, interpersonal and communications, ICT, 
traditional media  and social media - and anything else you would like 
to tell us about)
4	Trainees' pathways
5	What your organisation would need in the Informal Adult Learning 
Strategy to enhance your offer

For more information on the development of the strategy, please visit:

We will be producing a position statement for DIUS early in the New Year 
and any assistance and information you can give us will be very welcome,

Best wishes

Jaqui
