The Learning Family: a NIACE briefing note - [PDF]

This paper outlines the concept of the ‘Learning Family', where the intergenerational combination of encouragement and involvement in each other's learning activities by all family members raises aspirations and creates a long-term change in the culture and patterns of learning. Such a family supports parents, grandparents and wider family members to be active participants in their children's learning as well as learners in their own right: both elements are crucial in building resilience in families, in creating community well-being, economic prosperity and social cohesion.
