The National Learning Forum (NLF) was launched on the afternoon of 25th February 1998 at Methodist Central Hall, Westminster. Facilitated by the Campaign for Learning the NLF is a uniquely broad grouping of over two hundred individuals and organisations, each of which has an interest in developing a culture of lifelong learning in the UK.

This 'virtual' incarnation of the Forum has been created to broaden its scope and relevance. In addition to providing open-access news and information for all those with an interest in the Forum's work, this site contains three discussion boards accessible only by NLF Participants. These password protected areas provide opportunities for Participants to contribute to debates on current learning issues and comment on future NLF themes. This will help us ensure that the limited time available during actual Forum gatherings is used as effectively as possible.
