Learning points
Our learning points are a way of passing on what people learn from working and talking together. They record what the discussion was about, what questions the participants hoped to answer, what questions they felt were answered, and what useful working principles emerged from it.
Our learning points try to distil from the experience of the people at the discussion what worked and what didn’t work as they tried to achieve their aims. Our learning points encourage good practice and networking, build up a picture of what is happening in community regeneration, and keep a record of the journeys made by participants.
We hope they will help communities exploring their own issues to discover what has worked for other people in other areas, and what might work for them.
