The Community Education Network was established in 2007 and has given a voice to, and improved the visibility of independent community education provision.
The Community Education Network is made up of over 100 community education groups, who work together to help people get back to and stay in all kinds of learning in local communities across the island of Ireland. It highlights the impact of community education, and is driven by social justice and a vision for equality of access to education for everyone.
