Overview
About the event
The Festival of Learning, celebrated every year, is a beacon for lifelong learning in England. It promotes the benefits of continuous education and aims to inspire more adults to dive into learning.
With activities spread throughout the month, �??Have a Go�?� Month is a special time dedicated to encouraging adults to try new learning experiences free of charge, and it is celebrated across the country.
This initiative not only celebrates the joy of learning but also emphasizes its practical benefits, such as career advancement, improved well-being, and personal fulfillment�??�??�??�??�??�??�??�??�??�??.
Originally evolving from the Adult Learners�?? Week, which ran for 25 years, �??Have a Go�?� Month has become an integral part of the Festival of Learning. It seeks to address the decline in adult participation in learning, which has seen a significant drop over the years.
The festival, organized by the Learning and Work Institute in collaboration with the Department for Education and other partners, encourages educational institutions, community hubs, and online platforms to offer a range of activities.
From practical workshops to digital courses, these offerings aim to make learning accessible and enjoyable for all�??�??�??�??.
