2002
The week was coordinated by
the head of adult education in the Ministry of Education and Culture with
the purpose of raising the profile of and support for NON-FORMAL adult
learning. The mobilization of people to take part in the festival and to
share with others the results and projects of their learning activities
was, indeed, impressive: the official opening ceremony in the capital Nicosia
alone drew almost 2000 people.

The first Adult Learners Week
in Cyprus went on for three weeks, including activities from 3 up to 27
April. A small group of international guests - from Switzerland and Greece,
from the European Commission and from UIE - had the pleasure to be part
of the festival which was completely decentralized. The range of activities
set up by adult education centers in the communities all over the country
included exhibitions, dance and theatre performances, open days in learning
centers and the presentation of awards to learners and tutors. Learners
had been actively involved in the preparation of these events through "members
committees".
