Education in LORN

Education is at the heart of everything we are working on in Local Origins Rural Network.
Whether it is building links with the local schools or helping people to learn new skills in the traditional crafts, we have so much to share.

To create a sustainable community in North Argyll, around Oban and the islands we have a lot of work to do.
We all have much to find out about the issues we have specific to our local area - learning why there is so little meat grown locally eaten locally; finding out how we can make better uses of the resources in the area; and how we can appreciate our environment and heritage around us more deeply.
If you would like to be involved in any of the education activities of LORN we would be delighted to hear from you. Here are some of our aims :

• liason with local schools to find out what their needs are from the local community, how can we help them

• develop a list of people with skills and expertise in the area who would be prepared to visit school, groups, clubs and so on to share their knowledge.
• help us with creating press articles and sharing information about the area.
• encourage all those with the know how to share it on a regular basis on the LORNcommunity
