easilearn.org is a fresh new concept in fun, relaxed leisure learning from the WEA, offering courses for people who want to access courses just for the love of learning.

Launching on Monday 10 March 2008 easilearn.org offers a range of fun, informal courses including Ease your way into eBay, Digital Photography for Absolute Beginners, Uncorking the World of Wine, De-stress and Relax with Complementary Therapies, Beaded Jewellery and Tracing your Family Roots.

WEA Director Stevie Johnston explains, “The WEA has devised a new concept called easilearn.org through which to offer these popular courses as we no longer receive funding to provide learning in these areas.  All of the courses on offer will be fun and informal and will utilise the expertise of fantastic WEA tutors.  Any ‘profits’ made by easilearn.org will help subsidise the WEA’s work in disadvantaged areas across Northern Ireland and the border counties.

“Following the ‘easi’ concept registering for any of the courses couldn’t be simpler just log on to www.easilearn.org to see what courses are on offer and to sign up.  The range of courses on offer and the spread of venues will continue to increase over the coming months and we want to put you very much in the driving seat for this growth so if there are any courses that you would like easilearn.org to offer that we haven’t already thought of please let us know.”
