The festival of learning is in its fourth year and the dates for 2016 have been set as Saturday 25 – Wednesday 29 June for a shorter and more compact 5 day festival. Do make a note of these dates in your diary and let your friends and family know as there will be a huge variety of events they will be able to attend, all for free!
What kind of events could I put on?
We’re open to ideas and willing to support a wide variety of events, you could run anything from a professional development workshop to an art exhibition or you could just have a stool with some hands on activities for passers-by.
Some examples:
- Gaming, computing and coding
- Everyday professional skills
- Health and fitness
- Topics involving real-world issues
- Media workshops
I’m keen to run an event! What do I do now?
