We have just about recovered from the whirlwind that was the Flying Cows Festival of Learning 2025!! What a joy to watch 13 of our Ukrainian programme participants teaching and supporting in FREE ESOL classes attended by over 80 learners from all over the world, who have settled in the West Midlands.
Guided by our experts in residence from LTN, Marius Jackson, Tania Gonzalez and Ana Boika our qualified tutors and support assistants gained valuable experience, growing in confidence while teaching and inspiring others to begin or continue
their learning journey.
Heartfelt thanks to the West Midlands Strategic Migration Partnership (WMSMP) for making our programme possible and to Birmingham Adult Education (BAE) and Brasshouse Languages for hosting us in such an AMAZING building and to the wonderful Tamar Eccleston and her team for their enthusiasm and support from the outset.
