Crossroads Lifelong Learning Partnership

CLLP bring the fun into learning for those in and around the Crossroads Community. Watch this space for forthcoming events! So what are we about?

The Save Crossroads Primary School campaign has graduated...who are we now? The Crossroads Lifelong Learning Partnership (CLLP)! We haven’t been idle for the past three years we have been reading, learning and contemplating the role that learning plays in developing and building our community. We’ve been networking with similar organisations, chatting with the Government, accessing funding and thi

nking about fun ways of learning…we feel confident that we are ready for take off! CLLP is a Social Enterprise, which brings personal commitment and working for the greater good together, we intend to deliver learning experiences to the Crossroads community and surrounding areas for all ages of the community. We believe that learning is a life-long experience and that everyone should have a chance to develop new skills or pass them on to up and coming generations to sustain traditions. How will we do it? By delivering events, classes and courses accessible to all ages of the community! Until building works are completed we will be in and around the Crossroads area in local halls and locations. We are in the process of bringing some launch events to you, covering a range of subjects that promise to be informative and fun. Please come and join us (bring your friends!) in supporting this exciting new venture, we need your opinions and voices to let us build on maximising your experience! Watch this space as we start to roll out a tractor load of activities for everyone!

Looking forward to learning a lot more about Bees from Louise !🤓

Louise our Community Food Worker is passionate about bees and entered the hive for the first time at the weekend. She will be sharing her stories as a new beekeeper here and on her blog ayrshirefoodfromayrshirefolk.wordpress.com.

These precious insects are not just honey producers but pollinators. Any chance she gets she will be sharing her 'interesting' facts such as did you know one teaspoon of pollen (what the bees collect on their legs and take back to the hives as their protein food source) takes one bee working eight hours a day for one month to gather. Each bee pollen pellet contains over two million flower pollen grains and one teaspoonful contains over 2.5 billion grains of flower pollen

It’s been a while since we updated you but lots have been happening. We are delighted to have Louise Thompson join the team as a Community Food Worker. Louise will be driving the Ayrshire Food from Ayrshire Folk campaign in anticipation of our hub being built. Please join us on our journey and watch out for updates. Oh and share our page please! 🙂

Just Enterprise are bringing their De-mystifying the Web workshop to Kilmarnock in Feb. Open and free to all local social entrepreneurs.
http://www.justenterprise.org/business_development_workshops.html

Ever wanted to know how the web works and how to get more from it? Today's economic climate is forcing social enterprises to become less grant dependent and more self-reliant so making your website work harder makes economic sense.

Let's liberate our imagination and start to see a new type of "school" at Crossroads ! There any many other ways to educate ourselves and our kids out there. Do you want to be part of making something new happen at Crossroads ? We've already had a pretty good blueprint of what can be done there. Let's do it again, ourselves, let's make it happen, let's take our time....

All over the world, there's a growing consensus that our education systems are broken. These educators offer lessons in how we might re-imagine school.
