This year’s conference theme Learning to Learn Ako Ki Te Ako provides opportunities to explore how we might enhance the learning experience of the learner, improve learner focus and offer innovative approaches that assist learners to overcome learning difficulties.
Cutting edge practitioners will share their research and experience in a range of stimulating and interactive spaces.
The ACE Conference 2014 aims to assist participants to acquire fresh knowledge, skills and ideas to take back to their communities for the benefit of adult learners.
