Adult Learners’ Week

9th – 15th May 2009

Adult Learners’ Week celebrates its eighteenth anniversary in 2009 and we’re pleased to announce that not only is it the biggest festival of learning in the UK but it's the best know of all learning campaigns in Scotland.

The week in Scotland is different from the rest of the UK because it is organised and developed by adult learners, for adult learners and with adult learners interests at the centre.  So if you are a learner and want to help call us on 0131 220 5567.

 

Adult Learners’ Week in Scotland is widely recognised across the world as being at the forefront of learner involvement, and is leading the way for other countries and governments to make sure that their learners have a voice and are actively involved in local and international decision making.

We’ve achieved great success over the years thanks to the great team of partners who help make things happen and plan the local and national events organised to celebrate learner achievements.  If you're a provider and want to help or have new ideas you'd like us to think about come along to the providers' campaigns meetings and let us hear what you'd like to see happen.

From the 9 – 15 May 2009, learners and providers across Scotland will be working with us to celebrate, highlight and promote learning opportunities available in every part of the country.  The 2009 theme is Creativity and Innovation and we are already planning competitions, festival events and celebrations to make sure that our coming of age is the best year yet.

Offers of free taster session to encourage people to have a go at something new, and to show adults what is on offer in their local communities are widespread and local learners get involved by helping recruit, mentor and support new learners.  Look out for a full programme soon.
