Adult learners week


Communities First have been busy this week supporting local residents to take part in Adult Learner's Week.

Adult Learners' Week offers adults the chance to have a go at learning something new by trying out one of the hundreds of free taster sessions that happen across Wales during the week. Adult Learners' Week is the UK's largest festival and celebration of adult learning, co-ordinated by NIACE Dysgu Cymru and core-funded by the Welsh Assembly Government, and the European Social Fund.

Communities First Trefechan in partnership with Communities First Town and Park, Menter Iaith and Glamorgan Welsh for Adult ran a Welsh Walk and Talk on May 17th to encourage residents to learn some basic welsh whilst enjoying a healthy walk.
