Get Involved in the AONTAS Adult Learners’ Festival 2022

You are invited to get involved in this year’s AONTAS Adult Learners’ Festival, which will take place from the 7th – 11th March 2022. Building on last year’s theme of ‘Better Together’ which focused on collaboration and fostering partnerships, this year’s theme is ‘Learn Your Way’ - #LearnYourWay.

1. Have an Event Planned? If you have already planned your event or activities and have a date set please make sure to register the event on OneStepUp.ie by clicking on “submit an event” as soon as possible. By registering your event on One Step Up, it will allow the AONTAS team to help you promote it, as well as allowing prospective learners to find Festival events in one central location.
2. Looking for Inspiration? If you would like to host an event for the Festival but are still unsure of what kind of event to host, please feel free to reach out to our Communications Team. AONTAS will support you to brainstorm event ideas or help you to collaborate with local services already participating in the Festival.
3. Take Part in the Social Media Campaign: If you are not in a position to host an event you can participate in our online campaign across our social media platforms-  #LearnYourWay by promoting previous work/learner stories from your organisation helping to collectively showcase the diversity and vibrancy of the adult learning community.
