ABOUT THE LONDON ACADEMY
The London Academy for Economic Development was established in 2008 to promote international understanding, networking and co-operation on economic, social and community development issues. We work with agencies from all sectors (public, private, non-government, social enterprise) in all parts of the world.
What does the London Academy offer?
Customised study visits to the UK
The London Academy organises and hosts study visits to London and other parts of the UK. We arrange customised visits for groups of professionals, practitioners or students. Study visits can be thematic (for example, to look at the social economy or local enterprise development) or geographic (to London, Northern Ireland, South East England ar anywhere else in the UK). Contact us to discuss your requirements. MORE
Professional development events in London
The London Academy provides professional development for people working in economic, social and community development in all parts of the world. Through our unique and innovative London Academy events, we offer two days of intensive professional development in key aspects of economic, social and community development. Each London Academy event provides a rich mix of theory and practice, based on showing you how practitioners in London have tackled some of Europe’s pressing problems. MORE
Where is the London Academy?
The London Academy is based in The Grange, a 17th Century manor house, only minutes away from central London. All our professional development training events take place here, and this is the base for our study visits and receptions.
Why London?
With a population of almost 8 million people and over 300,000 businesses, London provides a rich source of lessons and experience in managing economic, social and community development. From major house building programmes to small scale community centres, from London-wide employment projects to local business development centres. There is not much which has not been tried or tested in London. Some of it has been fantastically successful and some of it has failed. We want to help people from all over the world to learn from London's successes and to avoid repeating its mistakes.
