Monday 4 November to Friday 8 November 2024
Lifelong Learning Week is our annual week of activity taking place across England, bringing together work from across Learning and Work Institute and beyond. Each year, we seek to engage a wide range of stakeholders and raise the profile of lifelong learning across a range of policy areas. This year, Lifelong Learning Week took place from Monday 4 November to Friday 8 November.
During Lifelong Learning Week, we collaborated with organisations across England to raise the profile of lifelong learning and highlight its importance across policy areas. It was fantastic to see so many individuals and organisations get involved over on the #LifelongLearningWeek hashtag!
In December 2019, the Centenary Commission on Adult Education published its report marking 100 years since the Ministry of Reconstruction’s blueprint for modern adult education. This webinar, hosted by the WEA, offered an opportunity to hear expert views on the progress against the Commission’s recommendations and what comes next for adult education.
Alongside Ufi VocTech Trust, this webinar explored how VocTech can get more adults learning. We drew on insights from the latest Adult Participation in Learning Survey and got cogs whirring by sharing examples of award-winning VocTech programmes that are transforming lives up and down the country.
Our webinar with Age UK raised awareness of the prevalence and impact of poor essential skills among older people. We shared insights from new research commissioned by Age UK and considered recommendations for policy and practice.
