Festival

The Limerick Lifelong Learning Festival, now in its eleventh year, will take place from Monday 24th to Sunday 30th May 2021.  Building on the success of the first virtual festival in 2020, we are now planning an exciting line up of FREE events for you to enjoy.

The Festival theme this year is ‘“New Futures, New Adventures in Learning”. It will celebrate 11 years of the festival and Limerick as a UNESCO Learning City-Region. This year it will again include using live streamed and interactive webinar workshops and event activities. The festival provides a timely opportunity to reflect on the many innovative ways we have been continuing to engage in learning over the last year; while also exploring how learning will continue to bring us on new adventures in the future.    We have all expanded the ways in which we can access learning and have met these new opportunities for learning with great enthusiasm.  

Limerick Lifelong Learning Festival has something for everyone –
wherever you live, whatever your age is and whatever your particular interests may be!

Festival

The first Limerick Lifelong Learning Festival was held in 2011. Since then, this event has gone from strength to strength and now, in its 9th year, is a visible testament to the multiple forms of learning that are happening in every part of the Limerick region. For 2019, the festival introduced a flagship Learning Cities-Regions Seminar event as part of the week. This event has now become an annual feature; involving international speakers and builds on Limerick’s participation in the UNESCO Global Network of Learning Cities. Last year in 2020, the festival celebrated 10 years, and had an extra-special virtual programme to celebrate this milestone!
