Urban disadvantage and learning communities: case study - New South Wales: case study - Campbelltown NSW

This paper is part of a project designed to investigate the extent to which urban communities that include significant populations of disadvantaged citizens are engaging in community-based strategies centred on learning and the contribution of vocational education and training (VET) organisations. Four case studies based in urban areas in four different states were undertaken as part of the research approach. Each case study examined a specific initiative that met the criteria for a ‘learning community’ and involved at least one VET organisation. This paper describes the formation of a learning community in the Campbelltown area in New South Wales, the challenges to its creation, and its concept and form.
