Adult Learners' Week in the UK

Wednesday May 13, 2009
Adult Learners' Week in the UK is one of the largest learning campaign in their country. Isn't that wonderful? This is the 18th year, and the program is stronger than ever.

Organized by the National Institute of Adult Continuing Education, the program:

"...encourages thousands of adults, whatever their age and background, to give learning a go: whether it's learning for pleasure, catching up on skills missed out on at school or getting that new job or promotion. It also celebrates the learning achievements of those adults already learning and brings their inspirational stories to a wider audience.

The NIACE also gives awards in four categories -- individuals, families, groups and projects -- seeking stories of inspiration.

I had a little trouble finding the exact dates of the week, but believe it runs from May 9 to May 15. Right now. Are you involved? Tell us your story.
