Whether you fancy yourself as a tap-dancer extraordinaire or a snap happy photographer, there’s bound to be something for you to get your teeth into during the Bracknell Learning Showcase.
A taster of various learning opportunities in Bracknell Forest will certainly whet the appetite when the showcase unfolds on Saturday, September 11.
Pottery, dancing, IT skills, photography, food courses and even wine tasting will be just some of the learning opportunities featured.
Why not pop along and have a go on a potter’s wheel? Or you could even have your photo taken in a Bracknell studio session.
The event will take place between 10am and 2pm at Bracknell and Wokingham College’s new Church Road campus.
As well as tasters and displays, a series of events will run as follows:
* Find out if pilates is for you between 10.45am and 11.30am.
* Find out how to motivate older learners during the Learn to Teach Adults session from 11am to 11.30am.
* For those returning to studying, a helpful workshop will give some hints and tips between noon and 12.30pm.
* Get you’re feet moving and take part in a tap dancing lesson from 1pm to 2pm.
* Get all your questions about management courses answered between 1pm and 1.30pm.
There will also be five different activities going on over the four hours in The Cube, including pilates, salsa, circle dance and yoga.
The showcase is a joint venture between all members of the Personal and Community Development Learning Partnership, sponsored by Bracknell Forest Adult Learning and Bracknell and Wokingham College, to encourage adults to get back into learning.
Learning opportunities available throughout the borough range from work based skills to help people change career or further their employment prospects, to keeping fit through a new sport.
Kara Julian, project coordinator for Bracknell Learning Showcase, said: "Whether you’re 19 or 90 there’s definitely a learning opportunity for you in Bracknell Forest. There’s so much on offer including pilates, learning a new language, boosting your IT skills or even finding out how to take a better holiday snap, so why not come along and find out what new skill you could achieve?"
There will also be refreshments available at the Star Cafe and music will be provided by The Supertonics and a live swing and jazz band.
Cllr Alan Kendall, executive member for education, said: "You’re never too old to start learning and with so much on offer within our borough there are countless opportunities to pick up new skills or find a new hobby that you love."
