Adult Learners' Week

12-19 May 2012 . . .

What's happening?

Adult Learners' Week is the UK's largest and longest running learning campaign. Held each May, it encourages thousands of adults, whatever their age, and background, to give learning a go.

The campaign offers adults the chance to have a go at learning something new by trying out one of the hundreds of free taster sessions that happen across the Vale during the week, and an opportunity for learning providers to showcase their provision.

Join us on Tuesday 15 May on Kings Square for our Learning Festival day of events. We will be offering Zumba, Qi Gong, how to sing the national anthem, mosaic making, checking out ebooks with the library, decorating cupcakes and more. At the Castleland Community Centre you can make hanging baskets and plant a herb box.

Around the Vale during the Adult Learners' Week there will be more activities happening: jewellery-making in Llantwit Major School, Photochallenge in Cowbridge Community College and Welsh for the family in Llantwit Major Library, Palmerston Community Learning Centre and Penarth Library.

On Friday 18 May in County Library, Barry and on Kings Square, it will be Digital Day.  Come and find out more about using computers to help you get a new job. Visit the Jobcentreplus and Careers Wales staff for information and advice, drop into our Friday workclub or try an internet workshop in the library.
