Last chance to nominate for the Adult Learners’ Week Awards

It’s awards season folks!

Before raising an eyebrow at the mere idea that our blog is about it play host to a discussion of Marilyn v’s The Iron Lady, never fear, for today, we want YOU to dust off your black tie and start practicing your speech.

Yesterday we highlighted the ISPA Digital Inclusion Award, which is celebrating projects, places and people (yes that means you digital champions!) around the UK that are helping beginners discover the wonders of the web.

And it’s not the only glitzy celebration either…  The Adult Learners’ Week Awards are recognising and celebrating the achievements of adults who have transformed their lives through learning.

We hear fabulous stories every day about people who have embraced the web in later life and now’s your chance to help them win a gong.  While you’re at it, please shout about the innovative and creative projects that are helping them.

Want to know more?  Visit the website.  Please hurry – the deadline’s on Friday.

The Citizenzone bus

Our project of the day – Preston City Council.  We’re delighted to hear that its CitizenZone bus, which trawls the streets to give internet beginners a taste of the web, has just won a Public Sector Digital Award for ‘best use of IT to build a fairer society’.  Congratulations!
