Blueway ‘Walk & Talk’ Celebrates AONTAS Adult Learners Festival
March 15, 2023
Tipperary Education and Training Board (ETB) organised a ‘Walk & Talk’ event to celebrate AONTAS Adult Learners Festival on Tuesday March 7, starting at the FET (Further Education and Training) campus on Dillon Street in Clonmel.
The onsite Gym was a hive of activity as over 150 adult learners and staff gathered together to celebrate the national event.
The event celebrated diversity and promoted a healthy lifestyle – walking, conversation, fruit and water. The participating learners are engaged in a variety of classes in Clonmel and surrounding towns and at different levels such as Adult Literacy (reading, writing, numeracy and digital skills), Men’s Shed, Women’s Groups, English language, Childcare, Healthcare and Horticulture – to name a few.
Mary Hanna Hourigan, Chairperson of Tipperary ETB, welcomed everyone and lead the outdoor walk along the beautiful Suir Blueway.
