Meetings of the Community Education Network are focused, outcomes driven, participative and lively. Members have an opportunity to network, share ideas and experience and actively drive the work of the Network.

Some comments regarding the benefits of attending a Community Education Network meeting:
'Support. Sense of solidarity. Discussion of issues pertaining to community education.'
'Getting together with like-minded people & info-sharing...getting the energy to stay committed to community education in this hostile environment.'

As part of the continuous evaluation and development of the Network we sent a questionnaire to all members of the Network regarding the Community Education Network meetings. The findings from these meetings are outlined in a report and will influence and shape future meetings of the Network.
In order to facilitate discussions amongst CEN members after meeting there is a specific online discussion group, please join the group here.
