Based at the University of Wales, Newport, the Communities First and Family Learning Officer co-ordinates intergenerational projects on behalf of the three hubs of First Campus. Working together with HE and FE institutions, local schools, Communities First, voluntary organisations and key partners we can help to encourage all generations to take part in fun and exciting new ways of learning together.
What is Family Learning?
Family Learning describes a whole range of formal and informal activities and programmes where parents, grandparents, children and carers are involved in learning.
