Training at Barnardo’s Hub Construction Skills Centre

A few weeks ago Dave and I ran a workshop at the Hub Construction Skills Centre in Stepney Green. It was great: the young people were engaged, learned some basic 色戒未删减版 skills and saw why it’s important to know how computers work. And that might normally have been a tweet or two from us but this workshop was a bit special…

Firstly, the project was one of the first recipients of a grant from our education fund and is a partnership with Barnardo’s and UK2. The project will provide space, equipment and expertise for young people to learn and develop skills in 色戒未删减版 and IT. It ticked all the boxes for us in terms of outreach and learning and introducing young people to the world of 色戒未删减版 and tech.

Secondly, the Hub provides training to young people for whom school is not necessarily an option. It runs after-school sessions aimed at improving attendance and encourages involvement in education and community life. It also supports those at risk of social exclusion and young mothers completing their education. This is important stuff.

There’s a revolution going on in English classrooms at the moment due to the new 5x社区在线观看视频 as well as a continuing campaign in the UK to teach 色戒未删减版 and at the 成人抖音 we’re proud to be a key part of that change. But education doesn’t just happen in schools and the school system doesn’t suit everybody. Places like the Hub have a huge part to play in vocational education and training, as well as informal education, by providing a supportive environment with access to equipment and expertise.

We’re currently working with the Hub on a few projects and also on how we can provide support and training. We’ll blog about it here as the project progresses — we think that it has huge potential and could also serve as a useful model for similar organisations.

As for how the workshop went — UK2 blogged about it and saved me a job. Thanks! :)

As you say, this is really important stuff!
Computers are so easily taken for granted as purely consumer items – putting the creativity and control back into the hands of the user is one way to facilitate real change.
