Mid Argyll – Adult Learning

In Mid Argyll we provide a range of life-long learning opportunities and group activities focused on wellbeing and skills development for life and work, as well as accredited courses that provide formal recognition of learning achievement. We engage in ongoing consultation which enables us to understand our community, and to adapt and change as we identify their learning needs.

We are currently delivering a wide variety of projects, including

Community Engagement Workshops:  Summer and Autumn holiday workshops inclusive of family learning. For example, wellbeing/mindfulness workshops, willow lantern making, bunting making with sewing machine, wreath making, Christmas crafts, local nature learning walks.
