Learning Light kicked off their Leonardo Project with a meeting of all partners from across Europe in Sheffield last week. The partners in the Transfer of Innovation Project - Enable travelled from Poland, Italy , Romania and Greece to meet with their UK partners MRS Consultancy, The Workshop and the lead partner Learning Light at the meeting in Sheffield. 

The project is seeking to address the low levels of ICT skills of mature workers, women with childcare responsibilities and young people outside the educational system in disadvantaged groups across Europe.

The UK partners are working with the Somali Community in Sheffield to engage their members with learner led learning to develop their ICT skills. The skills will increase their opportunity to secure employment in the digital sector.

The Somali Education Centre at Broomhall, Sheffield opened their doors to the project partners entertaining them with talks about life in the Somali community and serving them a meal of traditional Somali cuisine.
