Hartlepool Festival of Learning

What is the event?

The Festival of Learning continues and builds on a 25 year history of Adult Learners’ Weeks.  Its two core aims are to celebrate learning and engage more adults in learning.

Festival of Learning Awards are a central part of this, showcasing the wide-ranging impacts learning has on individuals, families, communities and employers.

Our 2016 Festival of Learning Awards evening was a great success with learners being nominated from a range of organisations.  Award winners included students from Hartlepool Adult Education, Hartlepool College of Further Education and employees of local businesses.

This year the event will be a joint celebration with Hartlepool Youth Employment Initiative with the main sponsor being Hartlepool Adult Education.
