Event ideas
Here are event suggestions that might help you design your Adult Learners Week event.
Media campaign
Adult Learning Australia is co-ordinating a national radio, newspaper and social media campaign to promote ALW2024 and direct people to the ALW2024 website so they find events in their local area. By adding your event to the ALW2024 directory, you are promoting your organisation’s work to a far larger audience.
Publicity
The ALW2024 toolkit offers lots of tips on how to promote your event in the local media; including a press release template that you can use.
Website and social media
Remember to publish your press releases, images and updates about your event/s on your website before, during and after Adult Learners’ Week using the #ALW2024 hashtag. ALW2024 is all about encouraging adults to identify ways in which they are a lifelong learner and to share this with friends. Events are a great way to demonstrate this. Encourage participants at your event to share their experience of how they have rediscovered the joy of learning and to share this through their own networks.
Scholarships and event prizes
There are three fantastic learner scholarships on offer and we are awarding three event prizes of $1000 each for the best events held during ALW. And don’t forget there’s also 20 early bird event grants of $200 for events registered before 7 August.
