Learning is at the heart of museums, libraries and archives.
"Learning is a process of active engagement with experience. It is what people do when they want to make sense of the world. It may involve the development or deepening of skills, knowledge, understanding, awareness, values, ideas and feelings, or an increase in the capacity to reflect. Effective learning leads to change, development and the desire to learn more." (Adapted from Campaign for Learning).
The MLA works with the sector to increase opportunities for adult, child and family learners to progress and achieve their creativity and unlock their potential.
