The WEA in Stoke-on-Trent has been awarded a £22,000 grant from the national Adult and Community Learning fund for a project called Health Maintenance for Men. 

The WEA has published its second year report on the Learning for Community Involvement (LfCI) project funded by the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG). The report showcases successful community empowerment activities delivered across the country and highlights the importance of adult education in empowering people to become active citizens.

The WEA regional event which takes place every year was a great success this year. We had over 80 learners, branch members and staff from the WEA attend this annual summer festival at The Studio in Birmingham City Centre.

The volunteer-run Stoke-on-Trent & North Staffs Open Learning Map reached a major milestone this week, breaking through 30,000 views. 

The Stoke-on-Trent & North Staffs Open Learning Map was started by the WEA Stoke office in October 2009 as a means of bringing together all of the health and learning opportunities in the Stoke-on-Trent area in one easy-to-use reference point.
