The Learning Co-op

On Wednesday mornings we meet at the Royal Festival Hall to talk about
the Futures of Learning, Emerging Technologies and the Social Web. The meetings are
open to anyone and we encourage a relaxed atmosphere for exploring ideas
and relating personal experiences through informal conversations.

A cafe on the second floor sells coffees, teas, snacks and lunch,
and on the 6th floor the members area also has a cafe.

It's a space away from our institutions of education and places of work,
and a time to reflect, to meet old friends, people you'd like to know better
and people you've never met before.

Every Wednesday Morning
10.30 till 12.30
5th floor of the Royal Festival Hall
