to discover?

Find your place

Who ERAID connects.

Different starting points. A shared interest in learning, contribution and practical progress.

Schools and learning communities

Describe the learning activity that needs support and the gap in available resources. Clear needs help distinguish a useful contribution from an unsuitable donation.

Resource contributors

Introduce learning materials or resources you can offer, including their condition, subject and intended audience. Distribution arrangements require discussion.

Library and knowledge organisers

Explore ways to organise collections so learners can find, use and care for materials. Digital access includes usability and support, as well as availability.

From interest to action

What your pathway could look like.

Use these steps to prepare a conversation. Specific opportunities and delivery arrangements are confirmed by the programme team.

Describe the learning need

Explain who will use the resource, for what purpose and in what setting. Use a broad town or region in the public form.

Review suitability

Discuss content, condition, accessibility, format and practical arrangements before accepting or allocating resources.

Plan access and stewardship

Identify how materials will be organised, made available and maintained. Feedback can help explain whether the resources meet the original need.

Before you take the next step

Your questions, answered.

Start here, then use the programme enquiry form for questions about your own circumstances.

Can we request or offer materials?

The resource enquiry accepts both needs and offers. Include the type of resource and the organisation or community involved.

Is every resource request fulfilled?

No. Allocation depends on suitability, availability and review. The form records an enquiry rather than a confirmed commitment.
