Enrol Yourself story
I want to change my career, but I can’t afford to do a Masters..
I want to change career too. Maybe we can help each other?
Maybe there are lots of us, we could ďŹ nd a group of 10 or 12?
We’d all be willing to give it a go
Let’s pool our skills, resources and creativity for 6 months!

The Host Fellowship You’re invited
Spotlight on Anneka Deva Learning Marathon Host, Birmingham
Anneka trained as an Enrol Yourself Host in 2018, before recruiting and hosting the first Learning Marathon in Birmingham. What drew you to Enrol Yourself? Anneka: In other environments as a facilitator, you are holding the schedule and how things work, and what content is going to be in things. But actually, I’m very rarely standing up in front of the group and leading the sessions. The peer-led nature of the Learning Marathon means I’m supporting others to co-facilitate with me.
"I've grown my confidence as a 'maker-happener'. I've built something that had only been tried in London into a real-life thing in Birmingham. I've loved making connections with like minded souls where I live." - Anneka Deva, Learning Marathon Host
What’s special about the Learning Marathon? Anneka: The Learning Marathon catalyses people growth in ways that they didn’t think possible. You get to experience a community of people flourishing. It’s so fulfilling to know that, in hosting, I played a meaningful role in their growth. See Birmingham’s Showcase Booklet ↗

The bad and the ugly
. This is not the easy road. Or the quickest.
. Lots of people still think this is fluffy.
. More focus on relationships: more focus on inclusion. Inclusion is complex.
. Some conict is inevitable.
. This is harder to do well online.
