The Lancashire Stepping Stones Programme

Abstract

‘[Learning] helps all of us to improve our chances of getting a job and getting on …encourages independence …has opened up the chance to explore or become creative. It helps make ours a civilised society, develops the spiritual side of our lives and provides active citizenship. Learning enables people to play a full part in their community, it helps us fulfil our potential and opens doors to a love of music, art and literature. That is why we value learning for its own value as well as for the equality of opportunity it brings.‘Learning contributes to social cohesion and fosters a sense of belonging, responsibility and identity.’
