Building Vibrant Learning Communities
Strengthening Community Adult Learning Councils and Community Literacy Programs
In four regional meetings, over 100 representatives from community adult learning organizations and post-secondary institutions provided their ideas on how to strengthen community learning and literacy programs in Alberta. Their input along with that of the Roles and Mandates Policy Framework Community Adult Learning Working Group has resulted in a report on Building Vibrant Learning Communities.
This report will serve as a guide for strengthening Community Adult Learning Councils and community literacy programs, and ensuring the alignment of community learning with public post-secondary learning. A vibrant community adult learning system will enable Advanced Education and Technology to meet our goals of improving local accessibility to adult learning, particularly for adults from under represented groups and those wanting to improve their literacy or other foundational skills. The actions in the report require collaboration among a large number of partners and will be implemented as priorities, operational plans and resources allow.
