The AwardsFollowing the success of previous years Adult Learners’ Week awards we are once again seeking nominations for Adult Learners’ Week Local Awards 2009. Last year’s event was uplifting, well received and extremely important for learners, their tutors and sponsors. This year we want these awards, again, to be a time of celebration and recognition for individual learners and for projects that have contributed to the learning agenda. This year we are working in partnership with The Big Skill Awards 2009. The Big Skill Awards recognise and reward people in the East of England who have improved their own life and lives of others through learning. The Learning and Skills Council (LSC) want more people of all ages and backgrounds to participate in learning, develop new skills and be given every opportunity to fulfil their potential. In Bedfordshire and Luton there are twelve categories to choose from and entries must show how the nominated person has excelled and/or overcome challenges to acquire new skills and how learning has had a positive impact on that person or other people. Award winners and those who nominate them will be invited to attend the Award Ceremony which will be compered by BBC presenters and supported by Ray Stubbs, BBC Sports Presenter. Each winner will receive an award and a £150 of experience gift vouchers. The Award Ceremony will be held on Tuesday 9th June 2009, in Harpur Square, Bedford during the early evening. The Awards Ceremony will be part of a whole day of events being held in the Harpur Square to promote learning in Bedfordshire and Luton. Local schools, colleges and training providers will showcase various opportunities available and people will be encouraged to try their hand at learning a new skill. Nominations forms can be downloaded at http://www.lsc.gov.uk/regions/EastofEngland/Aboutus/bigskill/ And here are the photos from the 2008 Ceremony Some photos from the previous year's Ceremony.
