Cork Celebrates Lifelong Learning 2021
Cork Learning City and Cork City Council have announced that Lifelong Learning will be celebrated in a new way for 2021.
Cork Lifelong Learning Festival cannot take place this year due to ongoing government restrictions, however organisers say they will instead use the week of the Festival 22nd – 26th to launch this new initiative.
During this week a series of lunchtime webinars will take place to introduce the new Learning Cities Awards, which celebrate learning across early years, primary and secondary school, further education, higher education and adult education (community and workplace learning) as well as highlighting exceptional and inspirational learning.
It will be an opportunity for the people of Cork to nominate individuals and projects that have inspired them by their innovation, endeavour and resilience through their Lifelong Learning actions over the past year.
Organisers say these awards are a celebration of how lifelong learning enables people to change their lives and how learning has become a way to improvement in life, work and community.
Free tickets for the weeks Cork Celebrates Lifelong Learning Lunchtime events are available now on Eventbrite.
Register today for our launch series of meetings planned for 22nd – 26th March with information on nominations and invited speakers:
