FALNI

The Forum for Adult Learning NI (FALNI) was formed in 2010 by a small number of regional organisations concerned with the lack of a cohesive voice for those working in the field of adult learning. From the beginning it was cross-sectoral with members from statutory and voluntary and community sectors and trade unions.

In more recent years, thanks to its involvement in the delivery of the UK’s programme under the European Agenda for Adult Learning (EAAL), its activities and membership have greatly expanded. FALNI is linked with Learning and Work Institute (which managed the UK EAAL programme), Scotland’s Learning Partnership and AONTAS.

Since 2015 FALNI, under banner of the NI Impact Forum for Adult Learning and supported with EAAL funds, has delivered regular seminars and webinars and an annual conference. It is also making responses to key consultations and building links with government.
