Once again the European Social Fund Managing Authority are delighted to sponsor the AONTAS STAR Awards 2021.
On behalf of AONTAS we would like to promote the 15th annual AONTAS Adult Learners’ Festival which will take place from 1st – 5th March 2021. This celebration of adult learning is an opportunity for you to promote your organisation, showcase your services and connect with the wider adult learning community.
While the Festival usually sees adult learning organisations across Ireland open their doors for free open days and workshops, this year will look a little different due to the current COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, AONTAS will run their first-ever virtual festival online.
The theme of this year’s festival is collaboration and “Building Back Better Together – #BetterTogether”. While people can’t come together for the usual in-person events, AONTAS are excited to collaborate with their members and organisations in the sector to deliver an exciting calendar of virtual events and opportunities to engage with online. AONTAS hope you will join them to promote and acknowledge the incredible work you have done in adapting to the challenges of the past year.
