Announced today, the nominees for the 19th annual awards celebrate 24 exceptional adult education projects from across Ireland, recognizing those that make a significant difference in categories like Health & Wellbeing, Learner Voice, and Social Inclusion. The Forgotten Women Project, led by Waterford Wexford Education and Training Board (WWETB), has been nominated in the Global Citizenship Education category.
