Celebrating the 20th Adult Learners' Week in 2011, the initiative continues to be the largest drive for learning of its kind - celebrated in over 55 countries across the world. Founded and co-ordinated by the National Institute of Adult Continuing Education (NIACE), Adult Learners' Week in England is backed by thousands of supporters.
During this week-long festival of learning, events take place in workplaces, libraries, cafes, prisons, museums and colleges across the country, motivating adults of all ages and backgrounds to take up new activities. Throughout Adult Learners’ Week the achievements of remarkable adults that have transformed their lives through learning are celebrated.
On Saturday 14th May SCOLA held a Family Fun day as part of Adult Learners’ Week, which was a great success. There was great team spirit on the day – from those involved in making posters, standing in the high street handing out flyers and balloons to those overrun with late enrolments in the enrolment centre. Hundreds of families came to see us and we gave out hundreds of prospectuses too!
The day was a great success and we received positive feedback from our partner family support groups who attended the morning event and also the families attending the morning and afternoon sessions.
Parents, grand-parents and carers had the opportunity to gain advice and information on family matters, find out about new SCOLA courses and have a fun time!
The families also took part in activities ranging from music and dance, making a miniature garden and ‘fake wounds and fun first aid’. This latter course caused much amusement as the children and adults were given very realistic ‘fake wounds’ which caused many heads to turn!
Thanks to everyone who gave so tirelessly of their time to make this event the success it was!
