2011 got off to a breakneck start thousands of emails (dozens?) to respond to, meetings to attend and arrange.
Firstly the annual resolve to become better… get fit! Taking advantage of a one – time only offer, remarkably similar to last year’s unrepeatable special offer, I’ve attended the gym three times. Where else can you have a near death experience several times an hour for an affordable monthly fee?
Sorry,I’m wandering,this is supposed to be about CLCs!
Hi, I’m Pat Mullin the Manchester First Community Learning Champions (CLCs) Project Coordinator. Welcome to the new website. I hope that you will both use it and come to think of it as a “favourite” and valuable resource.
I will post any relevant (and irrelevant ,see above) information. If I am saying too much or too little please let me know. Thanks to Julie for her work in putting the site together.
The main purpose of the Manchester First CLC project is to allow people to share their enthusiasm for learning. Getting involved in pleasurable activity, I enjoy learning about and, increasingly these days, how to do new things. Last year I learnt about dry stone walling…this year I’m going to use this skill to build an outdoor oven (for the British Summer!).
The Community Learning Champions project involves a range of partners Manchester First, MAES, LSEN, WEA, Peoples Voice Media advised by a number of different partners (more to follow); all of us are involved in trying to be the best learning providers we can.
Cheryl McAlister the Training Coordinator at
Manchester Community Central http://www.manchestercommunitycentral.org/home
has contact with and information about a range of activities and programmes .
We have been talking with Joshua Steiner at Action for Sustainable Living about CLC involvement in a programme in north Manchester. Action for Sustainable Living hope to get people directly involved in the way the local economy works, planning decisions, transport decisions, healthy living, environmental issues etc and feel sure that the CLC approach has a lot to recommend it, we have contributed to a funding application to make it happen. Fingers crossed. check out : Action for Sustainable Living. http://www.afsl.org.uk/
If you have time to spare and are looking for something different to do Manchester Event Volunteers http://www.mev.org.uk/home
Enough for now.
Cheers!
Pat
Just watched the most amazing blog about personal involvement in community learning its power to influence – indeed to transform lives. Hopefully video blogs such as this will populate this site very shortly
Cheers!

Manchester First is looking for people to do extraordinary things in the Cheetham /Crumpsall & Miles Platting / Newton Heath areas.
We want to work with enthusiastic people who can help their friends and family, neighbours and workmates to share their excitement for learning.
We’ve all met someone who can tell you everything about their favourite football team, cook a great meal, show how to plant a garden or paint a picture with words so vivid that you share their experience. Such people are potential CLCs (Community Learning Champions); CLCs will speak about how learning can change a person’s quality of life and job prospects.
- CLC’s are quite special people contributing to their communities
- CLC’s influence and support the people they live and work alongside
- CLC’s are ordinary heroes – you and me!
The Community Learning Champion project will bottle enthusiasm for learning and share it around the community that needs it. Want to help?
