Promoting Positive Images of Disability

‘learning is like a window that lets the light in’
In the run up to Sign Up Now in January and again in the lead up to Adult Learners’ Week in May 2006, we’ll be offering a raft of promotional materials that depict powerful positive images of people with disabilities and long-term health needs.

Posters and postcards will portray learners with a disability or long-term health need and carry powerful statements such as ‘Being in pain is like being in dark room, but learning is like a window that lets the light in’.

We’ll also have available fold-out information sheet for potential and current learners with disabilities and long-term health needs, and for learners with learning difficulties, with motivational messages about learning, support available and useful contacts.

Please order these materials via the order form

Inclusive Learning and the John Tomlinson Memorial Lecture
This conference scheduled for Adult Learners’ Week 2006 will remember the late John Tomlinson, whose seminal report Inclusive Learning (1996), for the Further Education Funding Council, was followed by a series of seminars that helped to change the face of further education for those with learning difficulties and disabilities.

Inclusive Learning – Ten years on will reflect on the message of the 1996 FEFC report and the influence it has had on policy and practice in the field of adult learning.

We’ll have more on the conference early in the New Year so keep an eye on this space.
