Want a learning initiative in your community?

May 20, 2010

You will find attached the Expression of Interest for LIRN for this year. LIRN is a partnership of 10 organizations inside and outside of government that is offering a coordinated approach to community driven learning. We welcome applications from rural communities or groups of communities around BC (25,000 or less in population). Communities can select from a list of 21 community development topics and provide a rationale for their community and their selection. The LIRN partners will work with successful communities to provide support for the planning and delivery of a one day learning event on their selected topic. Any questions can be addressed to Brandon Hughes or any of the LIRN partners.
