There are many great resources to continue discovering Clojure. Here are just a few examples that we think you may find useful after the workshop. +
+The London Clojurian community is friendly and welcoming (please tell us if this is not your experience) and very active. We run around 4 events per month, incuding coding dojos* in the evenings, all day workshops on a Saturday and a monthly talk. All our events can be found on the + London Clojurians Meetup group + +
+
+
+ 
+
+
+ *Coding dojos are evening events (7pm-9pm) where we suggest simple challenges and form small groups (3-5 people) to solve a challenge. We show what we have learnt at the end of the evening. +
+This is our collection of usefull links to our curriculum, files and tutorials.

We want to provide a safe and welcoming environment for everyone, so we will be asking all learners and event volunteers to respect our + Code of Conduct + , which will be strictly enforced. +
+Our aim is that ClojureBridge London will introduce learners to new possibilities in programming and make the tech community in London a more diverse and interesting place. +
++ Volunteering + +
++ ClojureBridge London is organized with a lot of love by volunteers. We try our best to make the workshop a memorable event and bring more diversity into our community. +
++ If you have some Clojure experience (a few months or more) then why not volunteer to be a coach or assistant? Helping others to learn is a great way to enhance your skills and confidence in Clojure (and teamwork). We also run coach training events a few weeks before each workshop. +
