The Pledge for Informal Adult Learning is a commitment by organisations signaling their intent to play a role in bringing the vision for informal learning to life. They will be important ambassadors and advocates for learning and a key driver for change and innovation on the ground.
We, at OGUNTE, pledge to play our part in the movement to bring informal learning to life.

We are ambassadors for learning. We use our resources and influence to create and sustain an informal learning culture.

By making this pledge, we will:

• support the core principles of informal learning and encourage others to sign up
• advocate wider participation, especially for those who have benefited least from learning
• find flexible ways of using our existing spaces, or opening up new spaces, for learning
• encourage and support learning organised by people for themselves
• embrace new ways of learning, including the use of technology and broadcasting
• find and work with new partners to increase learning opportunities
• celebrate our successes
• Encourage organisations working mainly on accredited programmes to diversify their portfolio and endorse learning organised by people/their customers/ for themselves.

Informal adult learning is about:

• Learning to know: becoming inspired, discovering and exploring, developing a passion for learning, acquiring knowledge and understanding of ourselves, our immediate world and beyond.
• Learning to do: gaining skills, confidence, competence and practical abilities.
• Learning to live together: learning tolerance, mutual understanding and interdependence, sharing the experience of learning with family and friends.
• Learning to be: developing ourselves, our mental and physical capacity, wellbeing and autonomy, and our ability to take control of our lives and influence the world around us.
