Community Dev't/N'hood renewal |
 |
From one of the leading voices in adult learning, this new policy discussion paper considers the relationship between lifelong learning, active citizenship and neighbourhood renewal.
The government has declared its intention to actively involve local people in the task of turning around their devastated and deprived communities. In the process, it represents one of the best chances to put some of the most ambitious aspirations for lifelong learning into practice.
Internationally-renowned Thompson discusses whether we are up to the challenge, if we know what to do and if we are ready to get serious about active citizenship and social inclusion.
This will be of great interest to policy makers and practitioners who are concerned about active citizenship and neighbourhood renewal.

Reviews
“This is a model of engagement that does not see learning in terms of
creating more customers for formal courses in learning institutions but as a way
of supporting local people to challenge the limitations and to extend the
possibilities of democratic activity.”
