Nominations open for Adult Learners' Week Awards 2008

Nominations are now open for the Adult Learners' Week Awards 2008. Last year the National Institute of Adult Continuing Education (NIACE) received over 1,000 nominations from organisations including businesses, colleges, adult education providers, museums and libraries.

The awards form part of the UK's Adult Learners' Week (17th – 23rd May 2008). Adults who've learnt as individuals, as families or as part of a group can be nominated for the awards as well as organisations which have created new and innovative opportunities for adults to learn.

Kamy Basra, publicity officer at NIACE, said, "Each year we seek out the most remarkable, dedicated and inspirational learners for the Adult Learners' Week Awards. If you know someone whose learning achievements deserve recognition and could inspire others to give learning a go then nominate them for an Adult Learners' Week Award.

"We also have awards for innovative and creative learning programmes that invigorate, stimulate and transform the lives of adult learners. If you think your programme deserves recognition then nominate yourself for an Adult Learners' Week Award as well."

Adult Learners' Week Award winners and their nominators will be invited to a regional ceremony to receive their award. National winners will also be invited to the Adult Learners' Week National Award Ceremony in London on Monday 19th May 2008. Winners will also receive a learning voucher, valued between £200 - £500. Everyone nominated for an award will receive a Certificate of Nomination.

The closing date for nominations for Adult Learners' Week Awards 2008 in England is Friday 25th January 2008. Nomination forms can be downloaded or submitted online from www.alw.org.uk/nominate

Adult Learners' Week in Wales is co-ordinated by NIACE Dysgu Cymru. More information is available from www.alweek.org

Adult Learners' Week 2008 is core-funded by the DIUS and the European Social Fund, with additional support from Ufi/learndirect and Ofcom.
