Adult and Community Education in Northern Ireland: An AONTAS Collaboration

This event included contributions from AONTAS, the Forum for Adult Learning in Northern Ireland (FALNI) and Cork Education and Training Board. During the event, attendees from adult and community education groups in Northern Ireland participated in a focus group that will inform an upcoming report led by Colin Neilands (FALNI) on behalf of AONTAS.

• Promoting recognition of community education in Northern Ireland and the need to reflect this with appropriate funding
• The opportunities to share and learn best practice across the Island, particularly around the areas of learner voice, the digital divide and promoting the overall sustainability of the sector
