For the first Australian College of Educators event of the year, we are looking at “Seniors as Lifelong Learners” with a FREE twilight symposium at the QLD State Library – Brisbane, from 4.30pm, Wednesday 23 March 2016.
Will you please help with ensuring contacts and colleagues through your networks are advised of this professional development opportunity? It will be appreciated if we can reach to local level across all sectors and regions for those within travelling distance of the venue.
