Community Learning And Development Plan 2024-2027
12th September 2024
The Education Committee met today (Thursday 12 September 2024) and agreed the Community Learning and Development Plan 2024-2027.
Community Learning and Development (CLD) plays an important role in ensuring individuals, families and communities reach their potential, through lifelong learning, mutual self-help and community organisation, ensuring support and opportunities are community-led and built around people's individual and collective aspirations.
The 2024-2027 plan builds on the outcomes in the 2021-2024 CLD plan and sets out priorities for CLD over the next 3 years, to improve outcomes in, and with, communities.
Education Committee Chair, Cllr John Finlayson said: "Community Learning and Development (CLD) can have a powerful impact on the lives of individuals, families, and communities, supporting people to identify and work towards the positive changes they want to make.
"Whether that change takes place in an individual's life, helps to create a resilient and enterprising community, or contributes to better public services to address changing needs, there is a need for successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens, strong families, resilient communities, and effective contributors, working together to build a shared and prosperous future.
"The new CLD 2024-2027 is a holistic and partnership-led approach to enable CLD to be delivered in a diverse range of settings across Highland. The distinctive set of practices, defined by identified competences and values, delivered by a broad range of providers and specialist practitioners, with a wide range of skills and experience, will ensure that many more people and communities can thrive."
The Community Learning and Development Plan 2024-2027 is available to view on the Council's website.
