Stafford Learning Town

the vital role that learning of all types (formal, informal and non-formal) and for all ages can play in reshaping stafford town is clear and the learning town programme was developed to consider how learning could be positioned as part of the redevelopments planned for the town. the case for embedding learning at the heart of the town as it re-opens, recovers, redevelops and grows is even more compelling. during the pandemic, learning cities and communities internationally have demonstrated that lifelong learning is a crucial mechanism for supporting people in changed life contexts - be that for information, skill development, having fun, creating connections, health and wellbeing, or giving people a renewed sense of purpose. learning has been vital in supporting people of all ages, businesses, and governments to cope with the pandemic and is even more vital in supporting them as areas recover post covid 19.
