Consultation has concluded
Learning is fundamental to the well-being, prosperity and sense of belonging of all people. Help us create a vibrant community - learning together - by having your say on the Wyndham Learning Community Strategy 2018/23.
The Wyndham Learning Community Strategy was endorsed at the Ordinary Council Meeting 5 February. The final version of the strategy is available in the document library and on Council's website.
Council has established a strong foundation for lifelong learning within the community since the creation of its first Learning Community Strategy in 2010.
The revised strategy for 2018/23 outlines a commitment to ensuring the benefits of learning are available to all Wyndham residents and promotes a learning community culture where equity and inclusion are the drivers of planning, engagement and delivery.
A range of priority skills have been identified:
- Learning Agility – the ability to learn in new ways and adapt learning to rapidly changing environments.
- Literacy, Numeracy and Language – foundation skills for learning and creating vocational and social pathways.
- Digital Fundamentals & New Media – engaging in digital fundamentals for everyday life, embracing new media and facilitating Wyndham as a smart community for business, work, living and learning.
- Civics Learning & Engagement – understanding and utilising Australian civic engagement systems to fully participate in society.
- Intercultural Learning – celebrating Wyndham’s diverse communities and cultures in learning, work and social interactions.
- Employability, Vocational & Professional Skills – skilling for today's and tomorrow's work and continuously seeking best and next practice.
- Leadership, Personal Growth & Cultural Expression – facilitating local leadership development and investing in personal growth.
The priority skills will be fostered through a range of strategy actions focused on:
- Celebrating living and learning in Wyndham, with the Learning Festival as the signature event.
- Advocating for equity and quality in service provision.
- Facilitating partnerships and collaboration across sectors to create new learning models and deliver outcomes for all.
- Innovating learning and fostering new entrepreneurial spirit through integration with, and promotion of, Wyndham’s Smart City agenda.
Council will play a variety of roles in this new strategy – advocate for new services or for a more equitable share of learning related resource; facilitator of partnerships and collaborations; exploring possibilities; initiate and lead projects; and direct delivery of services.
