Adult learning can take place in many different spaces and at many different levels of the community. The Festival of Adult Learning Ahurei Ākonga celebrates adult learning wherever it is happening.
It’s aims are to:
- celebrate learner success
- raise the profile of community education and its benefits
- encourage learning and make it accessible to all
For 2024 we asked Wairarapa learners to tell us their learning ‘why’ with a 30 second video uploaded to Facebook. With an array of videos submitted, we were amazed with the diversity within the community, with learners from all walks of life giving great examples of why learning is important to them.
With over 30 videos submitted we edited them together and had a premiere of the movie at the Screening Room in Masterton, a boutique theatre situated in Kuripuni Village. Thank you to all who attended!
Congrats to our people’s choice winner Crystelle, who took home a new Samsung tablet!
Congratulations to Harvey, Kathy and Vanessa (not pictured) – Winners of the prize draw!
