Learning with your Family / Community and learning for health…


Learning with your Family / Community and learning for health…

 Learning together builds relationships, communities and confidence, this makes for safer communities where there is greater understanding and cooperation. Learning makes a better future for people of all ages.

Many community centres and now even some schools and adult education centres, are offering classes for the whole family to do together.

See: http://www.familylearning.org.uk/

A really fun and interesting way to learn history together as a family is to trace your family tree. The word Genealogy is perhaps a bit daunting, because it is indeed, or rather can be a professional field. However, a simple Google search starting to trace your family tree will give you lots of resources to start off with and go from there…

Learning with your family can also be very important when looking at another of the themes for Adult Learning week, which is learning for Health. It can be very important and helpful to have a greater understanding of any health issues which area affecting your family, because knowledge and awareness can help to make quite a difference to being able as much as possible to control a health condition, e.g. asthma, arthritis, high blood pressure and others.
