Joining a branch.
The WEA is proud of its democratic traditions. It is special because it is run by staff and volunteers working together and has branches formed by local people in their communities.

Workplace education.
The Workers’ Education Forum. The Workers’ Education Forum is a new venture for the WEA, aimed at people either in work or seeking it. The idea is to develop a set of courses in different communities, democratically with workers. That means that if you get involved, as in any other branch of the WEA, you can help decide the courses you would like to see in your area or workplace. Would you like to know more?

T.U. Studies.
The WEA works closely with many trade unions throughout the U.K. We work especially closely with Unison on a programme of courses developing study skills for those returning to education.
