The Black Country Knowledge Society is about developing the skills needed for people to live, work, and develop within their geographical or interest community. The project has been enabling local people to participate in the decisions that affect them, developing community businesses, social enterprises and taking part in the democratic system. It has been identifying new models of working that will feed into the 30 year strategy developed by the Black Country Consortium, inform the Learning and Skills Council Strategic Area Review, develop the Stakeholder Survey and knowledge economy and feed into e-democracy, leaving a sustainable social capital that will inform governance.
The primary aim of the project is to work with communities to generate ideas and businesses from the bottom upwards in order to develop new and sustainable community and social enterprises.
