Introducing Adult Learners' Week 1-8 September 2008
Adult Learners' Week in Australia is part of an international festival of adult learning. There are thousands of opportunities to learn as an adult and this site can help you find the one that suits you.
Each year, Adult Learners' Week is celebrated with hundreds of events and activities designed to promote the benefits of learning - in the home, at work and in the community - and to highlight the many options available.
Organisations and participants alike can get involved by becoming a Face of Adult Learners' Week, a Learn @ Work Day Partner or a Friend of Adult Learners' Week.
Adult Learners' Week also provides an opportunity for informed discussion about the current provision of adult learning in Australia and to consider what improvements are needed to take Australia forward.
In Australia, Adult Learners' Week is supported by the Department of Education, Science and Training (DEST) and is coordinated nationally by Adult Learning Australia. An ALW Coordinator for each state and territory in Australia is also appointed and employed by the relevant state government department.
