Well, we have just the event for you!
The Lifelong Learning Festival is a celebration of all the opportunities there are in our district to learn. This festival has two main parts:
1. A PROGRAMME of speakers, demonstrations and performances in the Event Space. The details of the programme will be shared closer to the time.
2. INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCES from over 30 providers of learning of all sorts... community education, tertiary providers, clubs and groups - there are a lot of options out there for adults of all ages!
And because it's a celebration we also have:
• FREE FOOD! The Ashburton Lions club will be on hand with their food caravan, doing a free sausage sizzle & giving away hot chips
• FREE CHILDREN'S ACTIVITIES and competitions to keep them busy while you enjoy the festival
• SCAVENGER HUNT to complete
• PRIZE DRAW
This event is taking place during Adult Learners' Week Festival of Adult Learning Ahurei Ākonga. It is organised by Keep Learning Mid Canterbury and the Ashburton Library. 30+ learning providers, clubs and groups will be showcasing the opportunities for learning that they offer, through hands on, interactive activities, talks and demonstrations.
The festival is organised by the community for the community so we hope you'll join us on Tuesday September 9th to experience it.
