The Community Outreach Toolkit combines both theory and practical resources to support effective outreach in adult education. It offers users a clear understanding of how to plan and deliver outreach activities that truly connect with learners.
The first section provides a narrative framework, explaining why community engagement matters and outlining core principles of inclusive practice. It introduces essential skills for reaching and motivating new learners and guides you through mapping your local community, identifying key demographics and future learning needs. You’ll also find insights on the barriers potential learners face, along with advice on intercultural communication and inclusive marketing. For community leaders, the toolkit offers tips on supporting adult education and encouraging referrals.
The second section is packed with practical tools ready for immediate use. This includes step-by-step guides for organising pop-up outreach events, inspiring success stories from across Europe, and a curated collection of materials to support your efforts.
Designed to help turn your outreach goals into real-world impact, the toolkit is accessible online or as a free downloadable PDF.
