The LSEN are once again co-ordinating Adult Learners Week (ALW) events across the City in May 2013, although this time it will be done within the context of a wider partnership where LSEN will be working with organisations from Merseyside and Cheshire to deliver ALW events across the whole of the North West.
This year NIACE have decided to reduce the time in which nominations for Adult Learners Week Awards can be submitted – previously the nomination period has run until the end of January, but this year it has been brought forward to the beginning of December
There are two main award categories:
Individual Learners: for adults whose remarkable achievements have made a difference to their lives and have inspired others to take up learning
Learning Projects: for projects which offer innovative learning opportunities that have a positive impact on the lives of their learners
Nominations for both categories may also be eligible for a range of special awards:
European Social Fund (ESF) Awards
Learning through Arts, Craft Skills or Culture Award
Learning with Family or Community Award
Learning for Health Award
Learning through Sport Award
Learning through Technology Award
Learning for Work Award
Learning Life Skills Award
Everyone nominated for an Adult Learner's Week Award will receive a certificate of achievement in recognition of their learning, and winners will be presented with their awards at national and local awards ceremonies during Adult Learners' Week (18-24 May 2013).
