Learning Outside the Classroom Manifesto Newsletter
Funded by the Department for Children, Schools and Families on behalf of the Manifesto Partnership.

Welcome to the third Learning Outside the Classroom Manifesto e-newsletter.  The aim is to share news and events among Manifesto partners as well as letting people know about relevant DCSF activity.

We have focused this issue on receiving an update from the eight sector partnerships who have been working hard to make the Manifesto a success.  Read all about what they achieved in 2007 and some of the key plans and events planned for 2008.

We have had a great response to previous newsletters and hope to include more contributions from other partners in the future.  If you have news and articles that you would like to contribute please do let us know – contact details are at the bottom of the newsletter.
