Workers´educationassociation (WEA) .organization in adult education. VOLUNTEERING
“A better world - equal, democratic and just; through adult education the WEA challenges and inspires individuals, communities and society”
The WEA organises its education provision and identifies its impact across four key themes. They are Culture, Health and Wellbeing, Community Engagement and Employability. The themes are equally important and represent some of the most fundamental needs of people living in Britain’s diverse communities. Each theme provides a context within which the WEA offers its wide and varied curriculum. Over time it is anticipated that most tutors who teach a subject regularly will have taught their subject using each of the four themes.
WEA expects that in all our classes the following principles are followed: WEA Approach to Education and Learning www.wea.org.uk The course subject is explored in line with learning outcomes and developed in the context of WEA themes. One or more of the themes are reflected in planning and teaching of courses. Life skills, including maths, English and digital, are developed and encouraged in the context of the subject area. Students are encouraged to engage critically and actively around their study. Equality, diversity and inclusion are embedded in everything we do.
