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.
