New Street Learning Programme available
Publish Date: 29 July 2024
The new Street Learning programme from September 2024 to March 2025 has been released and the booklet, detailing the courses, is now available.
Wealden and Eastbourne residents, aged 19 and above, can attend a range of free or low-cost academic, wellbeing, and practical courses.
Courses are designed to help residents boost their confidence, employment opportunities, develop existing skills, learn something new or meet new people.
The courses are delivered in community venues located throughout the district including Uckfield, Heathfield, Hailsham, and Crowborough. Some courses are also available online.
Councillor Paul Coleshill, Alliance for Wealden (Liberal Democrat) and lead councillor for Climate Change and Economy said, “Street Learning courses are popular among our residents looking to achieve a new skill, increase their social life or create better employment opportunities. If you are any age over 19, I’d urge you to have a look at what courses are available in our district. Everyone can learn something new!”
Street Learning is a project supported by Wealden District Council in partnership with East Sussex College, East Sussex Country Council Library, Job Centre Plus, GRH Training, Compass Community Arts and Heathercroft.
People can find out more about the courses available, whether there are any course costs and make an application by contacting the relevant course provider.
