About The Awards
The Adult Learners’ Week Awards recognise the commitment, interest
and passion that adults bring to their learning. They’re a great way
of celebrating the achievements of learners, and raising the profile
of learning opportunities in your area.
We want to hear the stories of people who – through determination, commitment and dedication – have transformed their lives through learning. Whether they’ve changed careers, started a new business, become happier and more fulfilled individuals or great role models for their family and friends – we want to hear about their learning journeys.
For learners like David Haigh, from Cumbria, a previous Adult Learners’ Week Award winner, the Award is a recognition of a remarkable learning journey. He said, “Since winning the award life has totally changed for me in ways I never imagined. Before I had zero self confidence. My life had hit a crunch point and I was basically working on the premise that being dead by 30 was pretty much the outcome of my sad and miserable life. No friends and a family that had well and truly disowned me and jail was now just a footstep away.”
Awards are made to individuals, groups and families as well as to projects that make a real difference to learners. It’s very easy to nominate, either online or using a paper copy – just click here for further details on how to nominate.
Award winners will receive a certificate and learning voucher to help them continue learning and will be invited to the Adult Learners’ Week National Awards Ceremony to be held on Monday 21 May 2007 in London. All nominees will receive a Certificate of Achievement.
