Plymouth - RSA

Plymouth

Background

Plymouth became a pilot city in 2017 and has been instrumental in the co-design of the Cities of Learning programme together with the RSA.

Plymouth’s vision is of a wider city culture of wellbeing and achievement; to help everyone recognise the inherent skills within themselves and in others. Plymouth’s focus is young people aged 14-25 and the following themes:

  • creative, cultural, and digital sectors
  • health, youth, volunteering and housing
  • social enterprise and community businesses.

Delivering results

This is a really exciting project for Plymouth to be a part of. We’re going to be making the whole city a digital learning campus which will ultimately encourage more people to take part in learning.
