The national Awareness Campaign for Life Long Learning
The Learning Festival brings a new learning experience to the people. Committed people join forces with education providers. Labour market officials and politicians join in with regional stakeholders to create a platform for various exciting events around the field of education. The regional learning events are based mainly on voluntary work. Without the support of dedicated and well-connected people, the Learning Festival would not be possible.
Apart from taking pleasure in a learning experience, the Learning Festival mainly focuses on educational networking. Education Networks strengthen the education sector locally as well as region-wide. In Switzerland, the Learning Festival 2011 will be held for the eighth time, again as a 24-hour event, on September 9/10.
The campaign for raising awareness for further education is subsidesed by the Federal Office for Professional Education and Technology (OPED). The event is supported by a patronage of the Swiss Commission of UNESCO and the Forum Continuing Education Switzerland. Responsibility for its national coordination lies with the Swiss Federation of Adult Education, SVEB.
Advance notice: The Learning Festival 2011 will be held on September 9/10, 2011.
