The Workers' Educational Association (WEA) is Britain's major voluntary adult education organisation.

The WEA exists to provide high quality learning opportunities for adults from all walks of life. It offers every student the opportunity to help decide what courses should be offered.

You don't need any previous knowledge or qualifications to join most of our courses, only a willingness to share with others your ideas and experience.

If you want to see if a course is right for you, come along to the first meeting without obligation. Consult the WEA website for a more comprehensive view of the organization.
