AONTAS goes on the road

Cork Regional MeetingAONTAS Regional Meetings - Better TogetherDuring the coming months AONTAS is organising a series of regional meetings across the country. The aim of the meetings will be to support the sector, strengthen its capacity to organise and lobby, and demonstrate the importance, value and innovation of the work done by adult and community education providers. Since our VEC members are key providers, AONTAS has asked them to partner it in hosting the meetings which will serve as a platform for highlighting the excellent collaborative work delivered across the country and create a space for discussion on current challenges facing the sector.
AONTAS will document the outcomes of these meetings and use them to make a case for support of the sector in the forthcoming budget. The outcomes of the meetings will be presented at the AONTAS General Meeting in Dublin on Wednesday 18th November.
