Edventure Facilitation and Course Design

Edventure is a school for community enterprise. We have developed an action learning approach that is rooted in our local community. We offer accredited courses, on which students work in a team to set up a community enterprise project – creating a win win win scenario: Adult students gain qualifications, skills and support to step towards a likelihood that matters to them, we help tackle local issues and build initiatives that create a more sustainable economy.
