Adult Learners' Week, 21st- 27th May

Adult Learners' Week will take place between the 21st and 27th May this year and in Acton and Ealing you can participate in a variety of free activities.

 

Ealing Council's Library and Information Service, Adult Education Services, and Ealing, Hammersmith & West London College are jointly promoting the activities which will take place in the borough's libraries.

 

Adult Learners' Week is a national campaign, offering adults the chance to have a go at something new by trying out free taster sessions that happen across England, and is also an opportunity for education providers to show adults what they offer.

 

There will be three types of events held during the week: special stands at the borough's three main libraries; regular introductory sessions at the Learning Resource Centres in the main libraries; and a 'Silver Surfers Day' at branch libraries.

 

Dates, times and venues of the events are as follows:
