Adult Learners' Week Awards 2013 - 22 May

Involve Yorkshire & Humber is proud to be hosting the Adult Learners' Week Awards for Yorkshire and Humber for the fourth year running. We'll be hosting a fantabulous celebration of the life-changing power of learning - and highlighting some absolutely outstanding personal stories - at our Awards Ceremony on Wednesday 22 May 6-10pm at the shiny new Forster's Bistro and Deli in Bradford.

If you would like to attend this prestigious and inspiring ceremony...

Email us if you would like to attend - we promise you'll be inspired! Or call us on 0113 394 2300.

Adult Learners’ Week is a national celebration of the benefits of lifelong learning and is the perfect opportunity to explore the many types of learning available to adults from all walks of life.

And the winners are...

Involve is running awards to recognise the achievements of outstanding individuals and innovative learning projects. We have received some truly inspirational stories of the difference that learning has made to lives and communities.

They are so spine-tinglingly good that we can't wait to share these with you, but we have to keep them under wraps until April. Watch this space.

Working in collaboration

Involve will be working in collaboration with our partners to get the word out far and wide that learning is for everyone and to encourage people, whatever their age and background, to give learning a go.

We'll be particularly working with NIACE, the national co-ordinators of the awards and hope to soon be announcing Yorkshire and Humber partners.

Events

During the week partners will also be running events to get people involved in different kinds of learning, whether it is to improve prospects in a current role, start a new career, improve physical and mental health, learn skills to support family and community, improve essential skills for personal development and to deal with the demands of everyday life, or learn just for fun. You can find out more about these events on the Adult Learners' Week website.
