Freestyle Equality and Diversity will provide three innovative areas of activity:
- a learner support fund aimed at removing barriers to learning for those hardest to reach
- Anti Discriminatory training - workshops to raise the awareness of equality and diversity issues
- a dedicated fund which will support a small number of projects that are involved in working with the equality and diversity agenda for young people.
The ESF Convergence Programme has invested £500,000 in this project, with match activity identified at the level of the Skills Funding Agency's co-financing plan.
