摘要：Background
• In 1999, Trafford Hall, home of the National Tenants Resource Centre, ran a 1
year pilot project, funded by the Adult and Community Learning Fund, to test out
two innovative approaches to tackling basic skills problems.
• The two approaches were: Barefoot Basic Skills Worker training, a community
training and small grant package to help residents and workers in disadvantaged
neighbourhoods to develop and support basic skills projects; and Learning Space,
a short intensive residential course for learners with basic skills worries. The
target groups were: for Barefoot training, community volunteers and leaders, and
frontline staff in social welfare and voluntary organisations; for Learning Space
events, individuals with a basic skills need not accessing support. For both, the
aim was to attract a mix of men and women, a range of ages, and people from
different regions.
