About This Publication
Demonstrating the importance of adult and community learning in challenging racism and promoting cultural diversity this guide sets out how education providers can make their learning programmes relevant, challenging and appropriate to adult learners from black and minority groups.
Case studies illustrate models of effective and innovative practice, with quotes from practitioners and learners who have been involved in projects. Highlighting problems that practitioners often have in managing projects and the constant search for funding, the guide also examines strategies for sustainability.
With checklists, ideas for further follow-up work and useful contact addresses, this guide will provide practitioners with an understanding and confidence to engage more successfully with black learners.
