 The Learning Revolution is here
The Learning Revolution and Learning Revolution Festival is here.
The Learning Revolution is the Government's vision for informal adult learning in the 21st Century. The Campaign for Learning is producing a guide to explain The Learning Revolution and how you can support its aims through your Family Learning Festival activities and your wider work for adults, whether they are carers, grandparents or employees.
The Learning Revolution Festival will take place throughout October and will feature thousands of activities celebrating and supporting informal adult learning.
The guide will show you how to link up your Family Learning Festival activities to the biggest celebration of informal learning and will be available to download next week but in the meantime visit www.familylearningfestival.com for more information.

By taking part in the Big Fatherhood Debate, you can help them develop a better sense of what's changing in family life - and of how you think Government, employers and local services could better support fathers to perform their role.
