Back in November, we asked you in our newsletter to think back to the last time you invested in yourself.

After a shocker of a year, there’s no doubt many of us are facing steep learning curves as we come to terms with the “new normal” and what it means for our relationships, our work, and our futures.

And as with any form of growth, this kind of learning can’t happen without investment – energy, time, ideas – which can be really daunting, especially the idea of doing alone.

Enter the Learning Marathon

That’s why we’ve created a new partnership for next year. We’ve teamed up with Enrol Yourself, so that 2 members of our community can access bursaries for their programme, the Learning Marathon, in 2021.

Don’t worry, the Learning Marathon has nothing to do with running. It’s a life-changing way to invest in yourself and focus on your growth in the community with a group of people all doing the same.

The programme brings together 12 individuals, each with their own learning question: something they really care about exploring – whether it’s personal, professional, or societal. Over 6 months, participants collaborate, pool ideas, resources, and their networks, to each travel further than they could alone.

In the past, participants have created new projects and businesses, they’ve made career changes, found new clients, roles, and collaborators.

Taz’s journey

“Taking part in the Learning Marathon has changed my perspective on life. The journey felt a lot more personal to me than just academic and professional development. I’d urge anyone from any background to come along and see that they can be themselves in this space, and achieve things that they couldn’t alone.” –Taz Latif
