The Report This report covers a series of regional roadshows which took place around the country during March and early April 2001, on the theme of 'Skills for Social Inclusion and the Knowledge Economy: Towards a Shared Vision'. The events were organised on behalf of the Department for Education and Skills, formerly DfEE, by the Learning City Network (LCN) and venues included Birmingham, Cheltenham, Epsom, Wakefield, London, St.Helens, Castle Donington (East Midlands), Duxford (Cambridgeshire) and Durham. There were presentations and workshop papers from the Adult Basic Skills Strategy Unit, the National Institute for Adult Continuing Education, and the Learning and Skills Development Agency, as well as the DfES and the LCN. The aim was to enable local and national Learning and Skills Council and Learning Partnerships personnel and others to address issues rising from the new post-16 framework in the field of adult learning.
