Join the #NeverStopLearning Adult Learners’ Week campaign
Learning and Work Institute (L&W) in partnership with the Welsh Government coordinate the annual Adult Learners’ Week campaign and is set to run from 15 – 21 September with promotional activities throughout the entire month.
The campaign aims to connect people to a wide range of free adult learning opportunities and celebrates the inspirational achievements of people, community projects and organisations in Wales dedicated to lifelong learning.
Learning and Work Institute are inviting organisations from multiple sectors to build an exciting programme of learning opportunities, including online and in-person taster sessions, short courses, open days, career information, and special events that reach out to communities across Wales.
The campaign partnership will inspire and engage adults to take a step back into learning and seek new opportunities to improve their confidence and wellbeing, switch careers, flourish in work, and develop a passion for learning throughout life.
