Adult Learners' Forum for Aberdeenshire

About ALFA

First, who are the Adult Learning Forum for Aberdeenshire?

Well, ALFA really exists to represent the views of learners, giving them the opportunity to have a voice, discuss issues, engage with decision-makers, and contribute to improving and developing learning opportunities and services for adults.

We are a collective of community members, who share a passion for adult learning and improving learning opportunities for adults in Aberdeenshire.

Our five main aims are to:

1. Increase awareness of adult learning opportunities
2. Remove stigma around adult learning.
3. Encourage others to take up learning opportunities.
4. Influence decision making around adult learning.
5. Encourage positive conversations on adult learning.

This online space has been created to highlight the work of our ALFA group since its conception in 2021. From co-designing and facilitating an Aberdeenshire Celebration of Learning, to responding to a consultation on certification and wider achievement and conducting research.

We hope you enjoy reading more about us and please just get in touch, if you would like to come along to a meeting or an event, or consult us on adult learning matters, we would love to hear from you. Email: Caithleen.Bell@aberdeenshire.gov.uk
