LibDem leader to visit East Belfast learning project12.00.00am GMT Mon 3rd Nov 2003 ALLIANCE Assembly candidate, Councillor Naomi Long, will be joined by Liberal Democrat leader Charles Kennedy MP tomorrow (Wednesday) evening to see how lifelong learning is helping improve the lives of people in East Belfast. Mr Kennedy will be visiting the East Belfast Community Education Centre, Arches Centre, Westminster Avenue from 5.15-6pm, and will be accompanied by Cllr Long, who sits on the management board and Alliance leader David Ford. Mr Kennedy will also be meeting with the Ballymacarrett Arts and Cultural Society at same time. The group is involved in cross community work and was behind the 'Hope' sculpture at an East Belfast interface. Cllr Long said: "Lifelong learning is vitally important in today's competitive employment climate, particularly in areas suffering from deprivation. Training and qualifications are crucial for increasing opportunities in employment, and the East Belfast Community Education Centre has helped provide an invaluable service, winning the nationally recognised Queen's Award for Excellence in Education last year. "As Alliance's education spokesperson I believe this is a very progressive and positive facility for people that the system has failed, and helps gets them back into education. "East Belfast has suffered badly from job losses in recent times, and I am pleased to welcome Mr Kennedy to see how this community-based approach to education is benefiting the area."
