A WEA near you: the WEA branch network extends right across England. These branches play a crucial role in spreading the important adult education message.
In Scotland, our local associations bring adult learning within reach in Scottish communities.
From tens to hundreds of learners attending courses each and every month, each of our branches is unique in what it offers, with a wide range of subjects delivered by experienced, knowledgeable tutors, both in local venues and online.
WEA branches near you: a local learning community
Each branch also provides crucial support to the community it serves. Our branches act as a meeting place for people to come together over a shared interest (or, over the enjoyment of learning something new). Our courses also become somewhere for learners to chat to each other and relax in a supportive, caring environment.
Special interest branches
There are also a number of themed branches, each focused around a key topic, such as our Trades Union Branch or our green branches, of which there are several around the country. These branches meet regularly to discuss issues impacting society such as workers rights and climate change.
