Widening Participation in Adult Education


Adult Learners’ Week 2012 National Policy Conference


NIACE in partnership with the Open University


Tuesday 15 May 2012, London The Institute of Mechanical Engineers, One Birdcage Walk, London, SW1H 9JJ


This conference will provide an opportunity for attendees to explore current and emerging challenges and approaches to widening participation in adult education. Delegates will hear from John Hayes MP, Minister of State for Further Education, Skills and Lifelong Learning, and keynote speakers will be drawn from a range of different sectors to discuss barriers to access, how they can be overcome, and visions for the future of widening participation in adult education.


The event will be hosted by NIACE in partnership with the Open University. Both organisations have a history of promoting widening participation in learning, particularly among non-traditional groups and in pioneering settings. Delegates will be among the first to hear the findings of the 2012 NIACE survey of adult participation in learning, which tracks current and recent participation in all types of learning.


The conference is one of a series of national events to celebrate Adult Learners’ Week 2012, the UK’s largest festival of learning. More details of other activity taking place during the week (14–18 May 2012) are available on the website: www.alw.org.uk.
