Many have taken the opportunity to run a host of workshops throughout the week, supporting employees to focus on learning activities and holding awards ceremonies for learning stars. The topics included haven’t just been work-based. From Zumba to wine tasting, karate to knitting, we’ve seen it all!</p>
<p>In an interview last week, Julia Wright, National Director for the Campaign for Learning told us that Learning at Work week is ‘really to promote a culture of learning at work’. It’s got me thinking about what we should be doing all year around beyond this dedicated week to promote this culture. Lunch and learn sessions, collaborating with marketing to communicate learning opportunities, sharing useful learning resources; there’s lots we could be doing as part of our business as usual all year around.</p>
<p>We’ve curated some examples of what people have been doing for Learning at Work week in a Storify that you can see on the slideshow below. Have a look through. It might give you some ideas as to how you too can promote a culture of learning at work all year around.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.campaign-for-learning.org.uk/cfl/LearningatWorkWeek/essential_facts.asp">Learning at Work week</a> is next week from 15<sup>th</sup> to 19<sup>th</sup> May. Organised by the Campaign for Learning, the annual event aims to put a spotlight on the importance and benefits of learning and development at work. Each year the event has a theme and this year it’s about Curiosity and Creativity.</p>
<p>Everyone can get involved with this initiative. There’s a variety of ideas of activities that you could run in your organisation. It’s not just about one week out of the year though. Just following what happens next week will more than likely give you some inspiration and ideas for how you can build a learning culture in your organisation every week of the year.</p>
