Community Learning and Development

All Community Learning and Development pages can be accessed from the 'More pages in this section' menu.

Community Learning and Development is about empowering people, individually and collectively, to make positive changes in their lives and their communities through learning. Our task is to help people, whatever their age, get involved in learning opportunities and play as full a part as possible in the life of their communities.

We see learning as a life-long process and aim to create learning opportunities with easy access for people of all circumstances.

Each summer we publish our own 'newspaper' – a comprehensive guide to the evening classes and other learning opportunities available in Orkney. Through the Learning Link, we help adults facing difficulties with reading, writing and numbers.

Our CLD team run youth clubs and provide support for voluntary youth organisations across the county.

Throughout the islands, we support groups and organisations involved in a wealth of activities of benefit to their local communities.
