Learning is for Life

Learning for adults is transformative, contributing to social justice, building social capital, and enabling all members of our community to bring about and shape change in their lives, the lives of their families and communities and society as a whole.

FALNI (Forum for Adult Learning in NI) was established in 2010 and is a network of organisations from across the sectors involved in adult learning.

FALNI believes there should be greater opportunities for learning throughout life and a wider range of ways for adults to participate. The benefits of a lifelong learning society would be huge – stronger communities, better attainment by children, improved health, more tolerance and higher levels of well-being. Not to mention the economic benefits with investment in skills leading to higher productivity and successful enterprises.

 

We are calling on government to work with educational providers from across the sectors to build a culture of learning that embraces all citizens and their whole-life needs. The benefits of lifelong learning need to be recognised across all departments and we are asking that they work together to achieve it.

Our manifesto was developed in consultation with our membership and sets out 8 policy asks in relation to adult learning.
