Lancaster and Morecambe College welcomed a selection of local adult educators and adult learners to the campus for two separate events to celebrate the achievements of the Creativity Training for Europe (CT+) project. These events took place as the UK national lockdown was eased over the summer period. LMC were tentative about welcoming groups of external representatives onto the campus but we ensure that the necessary health and safety precautions were taken to protect ourselves and the attendees. We had to run separate events as we could not facilitate a large scale event safely under the strict health and safety requirements due to the pandemic situation.
Our first event took place on the 23rd June and we welcomed a small group of 15 attendees who represented local adult service providers. The event ran from 10.00am until 15.00pm and included a presentation of the project rationale and key objectives followed by presentations and breakout workshops based around each of the project intellectual outputs. Participants were asked to sign in at a reception area and were given a Covid-19 health and safety briefing. Before being welcomed into the hall where the event was taking place.
Our second event took place two weeks later and we felt more confident and capable of inviting a larger number of attendees as a result of the first successful event. This event involved 37 attendees representing some local service providers, employers and a selection of adult learners. The event ran from 09.30am until 15.00pm and followed a similar agenda to the first smaller scale event.
Overall, both events went as well as we could have hoped considering the circumstances and the limits on what we could do during the pandemic. We managed to welcome a total of 52 adult educators, learners and employers over the two events. All participants provided positive feedback on the events, activities and project resources. Many participants were also interested in using the outputs going forwards either as part of their service provision or to increase their employability and entrepreneurial opportunities.
