Adult Learners Week is an annual event dedicated to celebrating and promoting adult education and lifelong learning.
Established with the aim of empowering adults to continue their educational journeys, this initiative holds special significance at STEPS, where a diverse range of vocational programs and courses focus on equipping adults with skill sets needed for professional and personal development.
Throughout Adult Learners Week, STEPS sites across Australia will host activities that celebrate the personal, social, and professional benefits of adult learning.
This year’s theme – It’s never too late – encourages people to seize the moment and take advantage of opportunities to learn something new, regardless of age, background, or previous educational history.
Adult Learners Week serves as a reminder that learning is a lifelong journey that knows no age limits, and it encourages everyone to embrace the joy of discovery and self-improvement.
To kick off the celebration, STEPS Darwin at Palmerston had students in the AMEP (Adult Migrants English Program) participate in an Alphabet Scavenger Hunt. Students communicated in English to one another in groups to complete the hunt and win a prize.
