Adult Learners’ Week are asking learning providers throughout England to help us inspire more people to have a go at learning and celebrate the many benefits it brings. This is your chance to have fun and be creative, whilst spreading the message that learning is good for health, self-esteem and employability... get your college or university involved in this year’s Festival of Learning!The Festival of Learning kicks off in May and continues through to Adult Learners’ Week, 14 - 20 June. If you have a one-off event, a series of events, an open day, a taster session or other activities which can inspire learning, you can promote this by uploading it to the free Online Events Diary.
