In order to succeed, young people, and adults require skills and knowledge that are valuable during their schooling career as well as transferable to the world outside the confines of the classroom. Innovative initiatives are required to explore new ways of making the curriculum come to life ensuring its relevance to the needs of young people, the community and the world of work.

The main objective of the GLE oneLondon Education and Youth Development programme was to develop and implement new, innovative learning programmes which provide practical solutions to educational challenges and which would harness the knowledge and skills of various sectors such as the corporate and voluntary sector.
