Festival of Learning 2020 award nominations will close on Tuesday 11 February 2020 – have you put in a nomination yet?

Festival of Learning is the biggest celebration of lifelong learning in England. Led by Learning and Work Institute and supported by the Department for Education (DfE), the campaign has been running since 1992.

The awards celebrate adult learning at its best: the outstanding achievements of adults who have transformed their lives and the lives of others, the employers and learning provision that offer innovative and high quality learning and training opportunities to staff and local communities, and the tutors that go the extra mile for the benefit of their students.

Award winners and their stories highlight how lifelong learning benefits society and the economy and can inspire others to discover the power of learning for themselves.

The four award categories are: individual learner, employer, tutor and project. Within these categories, winners are selected for a range of awards including Social Impact, Return to Learning, English Language Learner and Learning for Work.  

Full details, including guidance notes, top tips for writing a good nomination and the forms themselves can be found on the Festival of Learning website
