Last month, we were thrilled to relaunch the North West Learning City Region alongside our partners North West Tertiary Education Cluster (NWTEC), Derry City & Strabane District Council & Donegal County Council and hosted by Ulster University at their Derry Campus. The event celebrated the power and potential of lifelong learning in our region, with inspiring speakers who set the tone for what’s ahead.

Following the relaunch, our Lifelong Learning Festival brought the region to life with 40+ free activities, showcasing learning in all its forms.

A massive thank you to everyone who took part, attended workshops, supported events, or helped spread the word over the two days.

We’re excited for what’s next and can’t wait to share future updates with you.
