SUMMARY:Designing a Culture of Lifelong Learning
DESCRIPTION:On Friday 22nd October we will hold our next webinar and hope that you will come along and lend your support and energy to further our thinking on creating a culture of lifelong learning for NI. \nForum members have been busy in four working groups preparing ideas to share with you around key building blocks – vision\, engagement\, collaboration and resourcing. Come and hear what they are proposing and interact with their ideas and add your own. \nAfter the webinar we will prepare a report with which we will then engage with other stakeholders within and beyond the adult learning field. \nWe will be joined at the event by two great supporters of the Forum – Niamh O’Reilly (CEO of AONTAS) and Stephen Evans (CEO of the Learning & Work Institute)\, who will share their thoughts on our theme too. \nCome along and help us show how the Forum can contribute to advancing adult and lifelong learning in NI. \nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/designing-a-culture-of-lifelong-learning-tickets-168458286269

SUMMARY:Supporting the Learner Voice
DESCRIPTION:This seminar seeks to identify ways in which the voice of the adult learner in NI can be supported and strengthened to shape and undertake advocacy to influence policy and practice\, across all sectors. \nWe will hear from our colleagues at AONTAS about the National Further Education and Training (FET) Learner Forum and from our Scottish colleagues at Scotland’s Learning Partnership about its Learners’ Forum. \nWe want the event to be a conversation with learners and not about learners\, and so we encourage our regular attendees to bring a learner with them. The event will be structured to foreground learner voices and ensure these shape recommendations for future action. \nIdeas from the seminar will be taken forward by FALNI so see how best NI can emulate the success of its neighbours in this area. \nThis seminar is run as part of the 2023 Belfast Festival of Learning and we wish to thank the Festival for its financial support.
