This document describes an initiative undertaken to engage citizens and organizations in developing a learning culture in the province of New Brunswick.

The project steering committee will improve learning outcomes across the province by coordinating cross-sector organizations to transform a fragmented system, the authors explain.

Achieving this vision will require the development of a system that improves collaboration between businesses and organizations involved in learning; enhances coordination of available learning programs and services throughout New Brunswick; improves access to learning opportunities; and increases communities and citizen participation in learning opportunities.

The authors propose that the structure for the project be based on the collective impact model, an approach to solving large-scale social problems that involves diverse organizations coming together from across sectors.
