Formartine Local Learning Community

Local Learning Community Partnerships (LLCPs) are made up of local organisations and community volunteers who share an interest in the community learning and development of the area. There are six of these partnerships across Aberdeenshire.

The partnerships feed into the strategic Aberdeenshire Learning Community Partnership (ALCP) who work towards agreed priorities. This is in line with local need and the requirements of the Scottish Government regulations for CLD.

The ALCP priorities are the focus for gathering local data and intelligence and creating a response to meet the needs of communities. The aim of the LLCP is to work together to deliver programmes and activities which will have a positive impact on those living in the area.

The priorities Themes

1. Theme 1. Community Empowerment

   Empowering people, individually and collectively, to make positive changes in their lives and in their communities, through learning. Through developing the necessary skills, networks and understanding, communities and groups can take ownership locally.

   Action - Map the community development learning offer and support to groups by partners across Aberdeenshire to improve understanding of partners offer and identify any gaps. This will identify and develop clear support options and access routes.

   Partners will support individuals and community organisations to address community issues collaboratively

   ---

   Theme 2. Employment and Skills

   Developing a coordinated learning offer with partners will be vital in ensuring that young people and adults have good quality opportunities to gain the necessary skills and qualification to progress in learning, training and employment.

   Action – Map the community learning offer by partners across Aberdeenshire ensuring clear progression and learning pathways are available to young people, adults and communities.

   Partners will develop clear access points and progression routes with effective transitions for learners to build the necessary skills and qualifications to progress in learning, training, employment and life.

On the Aberdeenshire Community Learning and Development Partnership Plan Engage site there is now the opportunity for people to provide feedback on the plan and identified themes. Please share the link widely. People will have to be registered in order to leave a comment.
