Adult Learning Australia (ALA) | Adult Learners Week, 1-8 September - #ItsNeverTooLate

Adult Learning Australia (ALA) | Adult Learners Week, 1-8 September - #ItsNeverTooLate

This year's #ALW2023 theme encourages people to seize the moment and take advantage of opportunities to learn something new, whatever their age, background or previous educational history.

There’s no use-by date when it comes to learning. Re-engaging with learning as an adult offers plenty of life-changing moments. There’s the thrill of discovering hidden talents, the satisfaction of learning new skills, and the excitement of imagining a new and different future.

ASPBAE and the adult education movement has lost another one of its own. On 22 June 2023, Dr. Chris Duke, former ASPBAE Secretary General (1972-1985) passed on.
