UNISON Learning Café

13 December 2023 3:00pm–5:00pm

Have you seen the benefits of lifelong learning? Do you want to support members to engage with education? The Learning Café gives UNISON activists with an interest in learning and education an opportunity to come together alongside national member learning staff in a friendly, informal virtual setting via MS Teams.

At each Learning Café session we’ll focus on a specific topic, with a presentation or workshop and plenty of space for discussion and the supportive sharing of issues, ideas, and best practice.  There will also be time for general discussions and questions on whatever is on participants’ minds.

The last Learning Café for 2023 will be on Wednesday 13th December, 3.30 – 5pm

Dates for 2024 sessions are being finalised and will be posted on this page and circulated to the mailing list as soon as they are booked in.
