The Open University is supporting Lifelong Learning Week, which is a celebration of the power of learning to transform peoples’ lives.
Coordinated by Festival of Learning, Lifelong Learning Week runs over 2-6 November 2020, and will be an annual event. The Campaign’s partners are also running online events and lectures that all are invited to participate in during the week.
