Already one hundred and seventy free events around the country are listed on www.adultlearnersfestival.com with more being added daily. There is a range of events to cater to all tastes, interest and skills levels - from informal learning opportunities in unlikely places to exploring life as a mature student on a university campus. B and Q in Liffey Valley will arrange a number of taster, practical workshops for DIY novices- from basic plumbing skills to conquering power tools and learning how to save energy in your home. Perfect your digital camera skills in your local library and practice them on breathtaking views from the rooftop of St Patricks Cathedral. Get to grips with Skype and connect with friends and family across the water. There are free seminars on everything from e-publishing to eco tourism, seed sowing, and insider tips on how to get and keep the job you want from experts in the Communications Clinic. Each day is designated with a particular theme including Celebrate Learning, Green Learning, Learning Communities, Learning for Work and Lobby for Learning.
