We invite you to join us online or in person at the launch of Adult Learners Week 2023, which celebrates adults who have turned their lives around through adult education. Hear inspirational stories and conversations about adult learning from our guests and ambassadors.

This year's #ALW2023 theme encourages people to seize the moment and take advantage of opportunities to learn something new, whatever their age, background or previous educational history.

There’s no use-by date when it comes to learning. Re-engaging with learning as an adult offers plenty of life-changing moments. There’s the thrill of discovering hidden talents, the satisfaction of learning new skills, and the excitement of imagining a new and different future.
