At the turn of this year I wrote an essay commissioned by the London Development Agency exploring how the Non-Formal Learning Sector (NFLS) (what used to be called community arts), has played a particular role in the ecology of educational provision across London. The essay tries to situate the work of the NFLS in relationship to changes in further and higher education as well as in respect of training and vocational education in the creative industries. The NFLS has also played a lead role in social inclusion policies.
