FAMILY learning week has been organised to encourage families to learn together and will take place in schools, libraries, colleges, sports centre and museums across the county.

Last year 5000 people attended more than 200 activities across Cambridgeshire and over the years it has inspired adults to continue their own learning afterwards by joining clubs and classes. As a result, they are better able to help their children with their school work as well as improving their own skills and knowledge.
