Research and Writing Skills

Want to tell the story of your group or organisation, but don’t know how to begin? Want to get service-users talking about their lives or interests? Fancy doing a bit of research into your local community, or investigate an episode in history that interests your branch members? WEA tutors can help turn your group’s idea into reality, embedding literacy and ICT skills where required.

Reminiscence

This course aims to use the shared life experience of older people to help combat isolation, reduce loneliness and provide mental stimulation.

Report writing course

This course aims to develop key writing and language skills in order that staff can confidently and competently complete the reporting tasks required in their work setting.

Reach Out

The Reach Out project aims to help those who engage improve literacy and numeracy skills, reduce social isolation, improve mental and physical health, improve IT skills and employability chances. This is all done through facilitating various classes/courses as appropriate. The project is student led/student centred and the courses are facilitated through student input, ideas and help.

The project is open to both males and females, aged 16+.
