Adult Learning Wales partnering with the Hay Festival.
A first of its kind collaboration between an Adult Community Learning Provider in Wales and the Hay Festival – A collaborative partnership of literature and learning
ALW were delighted to partner with the Hay Festival in 2022, to deliver on their shared commitment to widening access opportunities for all. 17 ALW ESOL learners from across Wales, and their children, attended a fun-packed day of learning, exploration and literature, as VIP guests. Learners and their children attended a number of talks by both adult and children’s authors, and all were treated to a sumptuous lunch in a VIP marquee, and a voucher to spend on books at the onsite Festival Bookshop.
The day was a moving celebration of discovery, re-discovery and shared experience, and the opportunity to just simply soak up the atmosphere of the world-renowned festival that we are fortunate to have on our doorstep in Powys, made this visit, one that is certainly to be remembered.
Many grateful thanks are extended to the Hay Festival Education Team on behalf of Adult Learning Wales, for showcasing to our learners the very best of literature in a very special setting.
