This is a special notice about Adult Learners Week (September 1-8) on behalf of Adult Learning Australia (ALA).

Join Australia’s national festival of adult learning and nominate an outstanding adult learner as part of Adult Learners Week.
 
Adult Learners Week, from September 1—8, offers organisations that run courses, classes, exhibitions, tours or other adult education activities the chance to celebrate their work and give Australians a chance to learn something new. This year’s theme is ‘Change Your Story’ — and with COVID-19 in mind — the focus is on how people can take their lives in new directions through adult education.
 
Organisations whotake part in Adult Learners Week include neighbourhood houses, community centres, libraries, training organisations, community colleges, employers, local councils, not for profit organisations, TAFE colleges and other adult education providers across all states and territories.
 
Organisations who register their events before August 6 will go in the draw for 20 early bird grants, so get your event registered now to be in the running. There are also three best event prizes of $1000 for events that best capture the spirit and theme of #ALW2021.
 
If you know someone who has an inspiring story about turning their life around through adult education, you can nominate them for one of three $1000 Adult Learners Week scholarships.
 
Adult Learners Week events and scholarship nominees are featured across social media platforms as part of a national campaign so it’s a great opportunity to highlight the work your organisation does and the achievements of your learners.
 
This year eligible events include adult learning activities and programs run during 1–8 Sept that are virtual or face to face; one off or ongoing and low or no cost.
