Adult
Learners' Week runs from May 15 - 22 and is the perfect opportunity
for adults throughout England to have a free taste of learning with
something to suit everyone - whatever their age, ability or desire.
Right
across the county there's plenty of chances to try out a new experience
for the first time, and perhaps open doors to a new way of life.
If
you had a bad time at school it might have put you off learning
for ever.

trying your hand at African drumming? |
But
the message at adult education establishments these days is that
returning to learning can be fun - as well as providing stepping
stones to change your life for the better.
Whether
you fancy your trying your hand at garden design, African drumming,
or salsa dancing or want to know more about cookery, confidence-building,
Indian head massage or using the internet, there are loads of chances
to have a go at new things.
I
never went to school. The school inspector was always banging
on our door to make me go. Now I'm banging on the door to get
in to college. I feel very passionate about it.  |
