We're celebrating Learning at Work Week with an exciting programme of lunchtime webinars. Over the week we'll be discovering how learning has always been a vital part of trade union action, how to find our voices and the confidence to write, new ways to solve problems, and more. Why not join us?

Learning at Work Week is coming! Join us online for a whole week of lunch and learn sessions. This year's theme is "Many Ways To Learn", and our diverse programme certainly proves that.

Monday 18 - A history of trade unions and education
Tuesday 19 - Using AI as a tool to aid learning
Wednesday 20 - The right to write: finding your way past the blocks
Thursday 21 - Problem-solving tools
Friday 22 - An introduction to mindfulness

Come to one, come to two, come to all of them - and tell your colleagues!
