We are looking for young people, parents and senior citizens with a skill or talent others would find interesting and benefit from learning more about, to join Connected 2013’s team of Learning Champions.

'Connected 2013' which will take place on Saturday 26th October at Forest Hill School aims to bring together families of all generations to explore the power of learning and the value of family learning. As a Learning Champion you will help to deliver an array of weird, wonderful, fun and practical workshops and activities that visitors to the festival can participate in; from the traditional to the contemporary, the creative to the technical, the everyday to the unusual (e.g. crocheting for fashionistas, mobile phone, facebook or IT surgeries for silver surfers or technophobes).

Connected’s Learning Together Programme will provide children, young people, parents and grandparents with opportunities to learn together within a relaxed, friendly and informal atmosphere. Importantly, this exciting programme will demonstrate the value of sharing skills and knowledge (new and old), learning together and from each other (no matter what age), and show that you are never too young or old to learn something new, or to teach someone a thing or two!

We’ve all got hidden skills and something to offer, so sign-up to become one of our Young, Adult or Elder Learning Champions and show off and share the expertise and wisdom you secretly possess!

Learning Champions will receive support to plan and deliver their activities.
