In what has been a challenging year in which you have been working hard to continue to bring your learning community programmes to your community, our Executive seeks to thank you and celebrate your work in lifelong learning.  

We have organised for you an online professional programme about learning and entrepreneurship.  After being inspired by keynotes  Judith James, PASCAL Board member and former Head of Strategic Regional Collaboration, Swansea University, Wales, United Kingdom and Martin Probst, CEO Chief Education Officer, PROfound Leadership https://profoundleadership.com.au/ we will hear stories from our own ALCN members talking about their Entrepreneurial projects – opportunities and challenges.

Attached is

• A pamphlet to share with your networks with information about how to register for the event,
• A detailed programme of events,
• A briefing note about the aims of the round table.

We are using this meeting as an opportunity to connect with our members and other learning communities around Australia. We also want your ideas for follow-up professional development in 2021. Note we always need more of your stories/good practice which we want to share in 2021.  The Executive’s aim is to feature a different learning community story each month on our website….

Our partners in this event are Wyndham Learning Festival and the PASCAL International Observatory.
