It is widely recognised that in order to widen participation in organised learning, adult, further and higher education providers need to conduct activities outside their institutional boundaries.
But how do you make outreach activities effective at widening participation and where do you begin?
This concise guide brings together different aspects of outreach: what it is; its position in the current learning environment; and essential resource implications, as well as point-by-point stages in setting up and implementing an outreach strategy. With the help of checklists and trouble-shooting tips this guide also provides help in assessing the impact of outreach activities and methods for achieving sustainable provision.
Interspersed throughout with quotes and inspirations, this guide is an essential start to understanding and carrying out outreach activities.
