Adults across St.Helens are being urged to boost their brainpower. It’s all part of a range of activities to celebrate Adult Learners’ Week – the UK’s largest celebration of learning.
From Saturday, May 14th to Friday 20th organisations across St Helens will be hosting a range of activities to encourage local people to learn something new and update their skills.
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. This year Adult Learners’ Week celebrates its 20th anniversary.
Special ‘taster sessions’ covering a number of subjects will be held by local learning providers in community centres and libraries across St Helens.
And on Saturday, May 14th, a marquee will be open in Church Square from 10am to 3pm, to host an Adult Learners’ Advice and Guidance event when you can learn sign language and discover more about the opportunities that are on offer.
Organisations taking part are St Helens Community Centres, St Helens Council’s Libraries and Learning, St Helens College, the Volunteer Centre, and many more.
Also, look out for an organised ‘Dance Off’ by UC Crew – St.Helens Cultural Award Winners.
And those out and about can enter a free prize draw for a chance to win a £25 High Street voucher.
This fantastic week of events will give local people the opportunity to find out about the courses available across the borough.
