Rework Cheat sheet

For anyone interested in change and new ways of working... this might be really helpful


This is a slideshare version of a cheat sheet originally created by DK (then of mediasnakers) that he introduced at the DIW 2010 conference in Swansea last year . It's based on the book "Rework" by http://37signals.com/. I think it's inspirational, what do you think?

Learndirect with Connecting Learners

For 3rd sector staff in North & Mid Wales, here is how you can get a free learndirect taster course from the Connecting Learners project. Just follow the steps on the slideshow below and you'll be learning in no time.


Still need inspiration? Check out this video about how learning with learndirect and your trade union is transforming lives and envigorating workplaces right here in North Wales.



Still not convinced? Use Connected Learners Cymru to support your learndirect learning and you could apply to come with us to visit another European country as part of our INCLUSIVE Grundtvig partnership project.

Connecting Learners & Financial Literacy

Hi there,

Here's our prezi for the Financial Inclusion Network Meeting in Llangefni tomorrow, where I will be presenting to the group about our project, essential skills, why financial literacy is an important part of the work we do and how learners taking part in financial literacy courses can have their learning recognised and accredited under QALL and QCF.


Enjoy - and feedback is welcome as ever.

Diolch,

Rich
