Our 2020 Festival of Adult Learning Ahurei Ākonga 2020 will again offer you an opportunity to celebrate the work that you do all year and acknowledge your learners. It is also a chance to promote what you do and become more visible in your community. It will be extra special as it will be the grand finale of our Year of Lifelong Learning celebration. During the festival week we will showcase some of the highlights of the year of celebratioin.
You do not need to be funded as an ACE provider to participate in our festival or run an event during the Year of Lifelong Learning. Any organisation that offers any form of adult learning can take part. The more providers that take part - the better. It will help raise the profile of the sector.

Types of activities
Festival of Learning Ahurei Ākonga activities can be anything that offers members of the local community the chance to find out what you do and where you are. The simplest thing that an organisation can do is what they do every other week of the year, but from September 7-13 promote these activities as Festival of Adult Learning Ahurei Ākonga events and invite members of the community to take part.
The week is also an opportunity to do something different because this will make it easier for your organisation to draw attention to itself. You could hold an open day, set up a display in a shopping centre, host a learning expo, present demonstrations or performances, hold a party. Your events in 2020 may be restricted in numbers due to the COVID 19 virus. Check the Ministry of Health Guidelines to ensure you are meeting the requirements for large gatherings.
