This November AONTAS will promote UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4. This goal is relevant to all involved in adult learning as it aims to ‘ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all’. We are delighted to be able to focus two of our Membership Update and Engagement Webinars on the Saolta Development Education Project.
Look out on Twitter and Facebook for relevant AONTAS content with the hashtag #SDG4.
