Training Advice & Events
UFA activities for young people are provided through UFA trained adults. Adults may be teachers wishing to develop their teaching and learning, support staff in schools or adults who support young people in different settings such as youth workers, outdoor centre, museum and library staff and of course parents and carers. We can train adults to deliver specific programmes where we use the UFA's model of good learning to underpin the activity, for example, training to run summer challenges. We can also provide a training programme that develops a depth of understanding about good learning and a range of activities for young people to participate in; we call this training the 'Fellowship programme' . The UFA explores imaginative approaches to training to enable adults to transform their own learning practices.
Training can be run at your venue or check out our events list to book places on nationally run courses. We can also provide resources to support your activities, find out more on our resources page.
