I am one of three new Learning Campaign Support Officers across the country in unionlearn. I have responsibility for covering the Midlands and Yorkshire & Humber regions. This new post opens exciting opportunities to communicate widely the importance of union learning, the successes of learning projects and the positive influences learning brings to working people lives.

For the last 10 years, I've had the privilege to work on various organising, learning and development projects and have met many inspiring and passionate people.

Since arriving in the UK from Lithuania in 2004, I have been working within the trade union movement, supporting some of the most vulnerable people within workplaces and communities. I have been engaged in learning, organising and recruitment campaigns across the Midlands region for 10 years.

Prior to working for unionlearn, I was part of the GMB organising team in the Midlands. I worked predominantly in food and drink sector, recruiting and organising workers with specific emphasis on vulnerable workers.

I joined unionlearn in 2008 and, since then, I have been working on various regional learning and development projects. I am personally and professionally committed to the learning, equality and diversity agenda. Our society is more diverse than ever and our role and duty as trade unionists and educationists is to ensure that learning is accessible to all.

Last year, I was seconded to the TUC to deliver support to unions working in sectors with large groups of migrant workers. I also helped in building community partnerships and assisted unions to bring together learning, organising and union activists’ development.

My new role is to support unions and ULF projects in enhancing their promotional and communications work around union learning. The main focus of the job will be to promote the great work that unions and ULF projects are doing in the region to create, encourage and support learning in the workplace.

I will need your help in identifying good union learning stories so we can show good practice and success stories with wider audiences using social media channels such as websites, blogs, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.

No success story is too small, if the union learning experience changes even one life, that is already a big story in itself. Union learning is making a positive impact on working people's lives every day and my job is to make sure that it's celebrated, heard and shared within wider audiences.

I would like to hear about your stories and bring them to a wider audience by writing about:

• Learning events and activities
• Case studies
• News stories
• Courses
• Individual stories

Please contact me if you can help me promote the excellent work that you are doing and the positive impact that you are making in workplaces around the Midlands and Yorkshire and Humber regions.
