Stream: Learning through unions

Unionlearn goes for gold in Y&H

On 10 November, The London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games (LOCOG) Chief Executive Paul Deighton attended a 'Celebrate Excellence' event during his annual nations and regions visit to Yorkshire. This time it was the turn of Leeds - and specifically Leeds Metropolitan University - to host the visit and give us an insight into the abundance of inspirational activity taking place in the region.

A Skills, Employability and Education (SEE 2012) Exhibition was held where Paul met representatives from organisations , which were keen to show him just what they were doing to grab the golden opportunities presented by London 2012. Unionlearn had a stall to highlight how sport can be used to engage learners and how the legacy aspirations of 2012 are important to unions in the field of learning and skills.
