SUMMARY:Launch of Learn Well\, Live Well Report
DESCRIPTION:The Learn Well\, Live Well: adult learning and health and wellbeing report has been produced over the past few months as part of the UK programme for the European Agenda on Adult Learning (managed by the Learning and Work Institute). It has been compiled and edited by the NI Impact Forum on Adult Learning and Belfast Learning City. \nThe report has six thematic chapters written by academics and practitioners and is illustrated by 16 case studies from across Northern Ireland and Ireland. Collectively they show the impact that adult learning has on health and wellbeing\, both directly and indirectly. As the world struggles with the Covid-19 pandemic and looks to life thereafter\, the evidence of the report points to the importance of support and investment in learning lifelong and lifewide. \nContributors to the event include: Raúl Valdés-Cotera (UNESCO Inst. of Lifelong Learning)\, Stephen Evans (Learning and Work Institute)\, Kelly Gilliland (Belfast City Council) and Bryan Nelson (Belfast Health & Social Care Trust). \nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/launch-of-learn-well-live-well-adult-learning-and-health-and-wellbeing-tickets-139704125801

SUMMARY:A wellbeing society - the role of adult learning in post-pandemic Wales
DESCRIPTION:Keynote and Q&A with Kirsty Williams MS\, Minister for Education\, Welsh Government \nThere is a growing consensus that across the UK a serious commitment to the rejuvenation and development of adult education and lifelong learning is needed. \nRecovery from the coronavirus pandemic and the challenges presented by our exit from the European Union place more importance on the role of lifelong learning to equip people and communities with the resilience and skills to bounce back and move forward. \nJoin us for a discussion on the role of adult learning in Wales – developing a right to lifelong learning\, moving Wales closer to a wellbeing society and a cohesive strategy for adult learning. \n100 years of learning and work \nThe British Institute of Adult Education was founded in 1921 following the 1919 report on Adult Education. Over the next century\, various name changes and mergers led to the Learning and Work Institute today. \n2021 therefore marks an important anniversary for us and for adult education more generally. \nContributions from: \nSue Pember\, Policy Director for HOLEX England. \nGraciela Sbertoli\, Secretary General of The European Basic Skills Network. \nColin McGregor – Director\, ACE Aotearoa\, New Zealand. \n\nMore speakers and breakout sessions to be confirmed. \nFurther details will be circulated in due course\, but to reserve your place you can register HERE.

SUMMARY:A Higher Skills Ambition for NI: Skills for growth and social inclusion
DESCRIPTION:A higher skills ambition for Northern Ireland. Skills for growth and social inclusion.\n\nResearch Launch – Wednesday 27th January 2021. 2.00pm – 4.00pm.\nEconomic growth and social inclusion are intrinsically linked to education and skills\, so a strong learning culture is essential to all modern economies. The findings of this independent research however shows how economic growth has tended to be weaker in N. Ireland over the past decade than the UK as a whole and the Republic of Ireland. The report concludes that now is the time to set a higher ambition around skills for growth and social inclusion\, aligned to concerted action to deliver better outcomes. Learning needs to become the golden thread running through all public policy within N. Ireland. \nThis report\, from the Learning and Work Institute\, commissioned by OCN Northern Ireland\, is both timely and robust. Success will however pivot on Government and social partners moving out of current silos to build on proven best practice\, alongside a shared focus on the delivery of better individual and community outcomes in line with our Programme for Government. \nOn the afternoon of Wednesday 27th January 2021\, we will share the detail of this research and the key findings.  An expert panel of practitioners will then consider practical steps to success and early wins. Speakers will include policy makers\, including relevant government Ministers and decision makers\, practitioners and social partners from across civic society. \nThis event will be hosted online\, and the full research report will be available after the event. We would welcome your attendance and contribution to what promises to be an important event in helping shape a higher skills ambition for growth and social inclusion within Northern Ireland. Please click here to register.
