The WEA is a voluntary organisation which is committed to providing adult education through an inclusive, local and engaging way. Come and see what the WEA are all about...we may just have a course around the corner from you!

"Have you ever been underwater when someone talks to you? It sounds muffled and distorted and echoes all around. Increasingly, that is what my hearing became like a few years ago."

As our summer project, the WEA office in Stoke-on-Trent is backing the Race Online campaign to make Stoke-on-Trent the first city, Staffordshire the first county and Britain the first nation, where everybody can be connected through the internet.

"At the age of 34 I didn’t really see myself returning to education. I was ignorant of further education and I didn’t really aspire to reach beyond what I was doing in my job at the time"

The WEA West Midlands region has been involved in a national empowerment project which is about getting local people involved in local decision making.
