International Adult Learners' Week

International Adult Learners’ Week (IALW) 2009 in Canada will be held from March 2nd through March 8th.

The Week celebrates adult learners across the country and the joy of learning throughout life.


Background

Adult learning and literacy programs share a common purpose – they are advocacy tools for raising the profile of adult learners and lifelong learning; they mobilize individuals to take advantage of the multitude of learning opportunities open to them; and they serve as a reminder that adult learning can be a powerful instrument for change.


Project Literacy Kelowna Society salutes all of our adult learners, past and present and the amazing volunteer tutors who share their time, their expertise and their desire to help others achieve their goals.
