Community Learning Exchange
The Community Learning Exchange, funded by the Scottish Government, is one of the ways we seek to support local community activity and invest in the work of our membership across Scotland.
What is the Community Learning Exchange fund?
The Community Learning Exchange (CLE) fund offers small sums of funding to enable visits which build mutual support across the community sector through peer to peer learning – the best way to test and develop new ideas is to learn from people already on the journey themselves!
What is a Community Learning Exchange?
A CLE supports peer learning – virtually or in person – by covering the costs of a visit to another group or organisation to share learning and develop practice you would like to make happen in your community. CLE’s are also a fantastic opportunity to collaborate and build networks of support across our sector.
Who can apply?
