Adult Learners' Week: A Celebration of LearningNow in its 18th year, Adult Learners' Week (ALW) is a wonderful celebration of the energy and inspiration that adults bring to their learning. It seeks to use the achievements of learners to inspire others to have a go - whether it is learning a new skill, learning for fun, or catching up on learning missed at school. Adult Learners’ Week is the UK's largest learning campaign, and promotes education and training for adults, provides access to information and guidance, motivates more adults to participate in learning opportunities and celebrates the learning achievements of adult learners through national and regional awards and in Bedfordshire and Luton local awards are also celebrated. It is a collaborative venture between education and training providers, broadcasters, and national and local government. The National Institute of Adult Continuing Education, NIACE, is the largest organisation working to promote the interests of learners and potential learners in England and Wales and, since 1992, they have brought together a diverse range of private, public and voluntary bodies to celebrate learners - in all their diversity - and recognise their achievements during Adult Learners' Week. There are themed days during ALW which include Cultural Diversity Weekend, Learning at Work Day and Silver Surfers Day. ALW begins with a celebration of Britain’s diversity of learners
