Do something different....learn something new, was the idea for Family Learning Week this year! Leicestershire families were spoilt for choice during Family Learning Week, with over 200 activities to choose from, ranging from football sessions, healthy eating and storytelling to travelling through time with Dr Who and magical fun with Harry Potter .
This is the eighth year of the national awareness campaign, which aims to highlight the importance of Family Learning. Organisations throughout the country get together each year to put on an array of fun activities essentially to involve the whole family, helping them to discover new interests, aptitudes and abilities, which they can go on later to explore. Visit www.familylearningweek.com for more details.

'Over the next 50 years, the UK and the rest of the world will experience an unprecedented change in the fabric of society. As life expectancy increases and the birth rate remains low, the proportion of the population aged over 65 will increase dramatically............as older people become an ever more significant proportion of the population, society will increasingly depend upon the contribution they can make.' - Tony Blair, Prime Minister. | <Back to top

Neil Kefford from Leicester Sound radio led the proceedings of the awards telling some of the many heart-warming stories of the winners learning journeys, recognising how many of these learners had undertaken learning against the odds and faced many challenges, in which to improve their skills and prospects and even transform their lives.
