The National Institute of Adult Continuing Education’s Older and Bolder programme of work began in 1995. Its key aim is to promote and develop better learning opportunities for people aged 50+, and to raise awareness of the need for wider access and participation by older learners. Main activities are: production of Older and Bolder newsletter; collection and dissemination of information; Senior Learner of the Year; organising conferences and e-mail discussion groups; undertaking research projects; and consultancy.
