Hackney Community Learning Festival – Free Launch Today
TSSA Learning is joining up with providers in Hackney to develop learning initiatives for local workers, their friends, family and the wider community.
The exciting new initiative is launching today and features a week long learning festival, Making Learning Work – TSSA Hackney Festival. The fantastic free programme includes: volunteering, memoir-writing, african drumming, creative writing and so much more.
Accredited or non-accredited; for fun or professional development, TSSA believe that learning and educational opportunities should be at the heart of our communities and open to everyone. Working with Union Learning Reps and Community Learning Champions we will be hosting a number of workshops and events throughout the borough.
