The overarching aim of the informal adult learning (IAL) consultation ‘Informal adult learning: shaping the way ahead’, was to start a discussion that will lead to a new vision for informal adult learning in the UK for the 21st century. Informal adult learning is structured or unstructured activity that embraces all sorts of activity ranging from family learning, healthy living and financial literacy to sports, arts, humanities and foreign languages. It can be a lifeline, an engagement mechanism, a progression route or simply a pleasurable and stimulating learning experience, and sometimes all four. It can be self-organised or publicly or privately funded. The consultation was launched on 15th January 2008 and ran until 12th June 2008. This report presents a more detailed analysis of the key messages and suggestions set out in responses to the consultation.
