Arrange a lunchtime learning session at work
Like all good things in life, someone has to take the lead to make it happen. So, how about you? We promise it will be very easy to set up. You can either find a local learning provider to come in and deliver a taster course for a small fee - some will even do it for free. Or you can tap into the skills around you. Is there a colleague with a special talent willing to share their knowledge? It could be the office IT whizz kid, or someone who's good at art or speaks another language.
