Festival of Lifelong Learning
Project Summary
Education, skills development and lifelong learning opportunities open doors that can have positive impacts on the lives of individuals as well as on overall community wellbeing. During June to August 2007, Auburn Council coordinated the 'Festival of Lifelong Learning', an innovative program of cultural and lifelong learning activities, across the Newington, Lidcombe and Regents Park Community Centres.
The aim of the 10 week program was to actively engage with residents of Auburn’s more isolated suburbs in order to generate a program of ongoing cultural activities at the three local community centres. The Festival program included 42 separate lifelong learning activities ranging from dance and art based workshops to children’s craft activities and creative educational workshops.
The 'Festival' demonstrated the value of Council providing programs for Auburn residents to pursue affordable and accessible education and lifelong learning opportunities and in particular programs that foster the arts, information literacy and visual literacy.
