Send in your video story and win!
To celebrate ALW 2012, we are giving adult learners the opportunity to share their learning successes and challenges. We are looking for inspirational adult learner stories from across the country, which we hope will encourage others to consider the many adult learning opportunities available to them.
Your video stories will be shared on the Adult Learners’ Week website, our YouTube channel and Facebook page. The best video story will win an Apple iPad. If you are interested in helping us tell Australian adult learning stories, please refer to the following guidelines. Download our adult consent form here. Closing date 31 August 2012.
