  15. Choose the project title with care! • The initial project idea may change in unexpected ways. • Both people, and courses, need structure and direction. • Organising the transport was, at times, hellish. • On-line data collection is random and unpredictable. • Tutors and Learners need lessons in Word Press. What lessons have I learnt?

  16. Small class size • Meeting some of the learners • The excellent workshops at the cultural venues • Enthusiasm of the WEA tutors • Community partners’ engagement and support The best bits:
