Developed as a Community Learning radio and internet initiative, the weekly radio program Learning Works has two main strands of programs:
Strand 1 – A Learning Society
Learning Works will showcase - in its many forms - adult learning in action, and feature the learning journeys and transitions of adults who have returned to learning, or who have overcome disadvantage of many kinds to achieve their goals, including and especially in the workplace.
Strand 2 - Community Learning Resources
Learning Works will develop radio and online audio Community Learning resources in a variety of areas, including health, media, science, social history, justice and legal issues.

and is heard in Adelaide on 89.7 on the FM band.

Learning Works website
Following the weekly broadcast in Adelaide many of the Learning Works interviews are then added to the
Learning Works website.
The website is the key to making this media initiative accessible
Australia-wide. While listening to radio continues to be a very
important part of our daily routines, this radio project both
highlights the importance of lifelong learning and points listeners
to the Learning Works website, as a growing learning resource of mp3
audiofiles and fact sheets.
Educators in schools and in adult education, as well as individual
listeners with an interest in utilizing mp3 audio and related
online files, are invited to visit the Learning Works website
Producer / Presenter
Learning Works is produced and presented each week by Tony Ryan.
Acknowledgement
We gratefully acknowledge the ongoing support and assistance of the South Australian Department of Further Education Employment Science and Technology, through the ACE and Community Partnerships Unit. Without their ready involvement in this lifelong learning radio and internet project, Learning Works would not be possible.

Skint – Making Do in The Great Depression
While it was a period of terrible hardship for many, the Great Depression was also a time when people showed incredible ingenuity to survive and make ends meet: including thrifty ways of reusing and recycling commodities, and growing vegetables. Soup kitchens were set up in school yards, and many hundreds of families were forced to shelter in caves or build their own humpies on the city fringes and along the coast. In Learning Works on Monday 7 June, we visit this very important social history exhibition at the Museum of Sydney.
