Adult Learners Week 2010 was celebrated in Neighbourhood Houses, Community Colleges, Libraries and other venues across Australia during the first week of September. At Narrabri Community College, seniors were offered free text messaging classes. At the CaFE Enfield Children’s Centre, members of the community from a range of cultures took part in a Living Stories day. At the Mawson Centre in Salisbury, the Business Women’s Network held a “Journey’s in Small Business” day.
At the Darwin City Library, members of the community learnt how to use Facebook and Ebay. In Burnie, learning providers and potential adult learners met each other through a “speed networking” event. Plus many many more activities.
The week of activities was launched at the CAE, Melbourne, by Australian Cycling Team Member and CAE student, Lisa Jacobs, (pictured above). You can read more about Adult Learners Week 2010 at www.adultlearnersweek.org
