Exciting
and innovative projects to help people access local learning
and training opportunities are being developed around the county.
These
range from the setting up of Neighbourhood Projects, to offering
support to artists and giving older people the chance to learn
IT skills in a local hall.
To
help you develop your own projects, you may find it useful to
read how other people have developed their ideas.
