Almost 700 adult learners from 80 different groups participated in the research, along with 61 VEC personnel. A significant finding within the research is that community education pays for itself, as adults who participate in community education are motivated to volunteer once their learning is complete. According to Natasha Bailey who carried out the research 'learners who start to volunteer as a result of community education provide a high return of 28.8 million to the State and a low return of 9.1 million to the State. With conservative estimates, even if 25% of those who participate begin to volunteer then the State has almost recouped its 2009 investment. 'Would you like to get a hard copy?

Bealtaine Festival-May 2011
Bealtaine Festival celebrates creativity in older age across Ireland from 1-31 May every year. The festival is committed to encouraging greater participation in and access to the Arts by older people, as artists, performers, event organisers or audience. Since 1996 Bealtaine Festival organisers continued to create a network of partners and bring together diverse organisations and groups across sectors, united for a common creative purpose. The Bealtaine programme is jam-packed already with wonderful opportunities to engage and experience the Arts from singing on beaches at Dawn to re-discovering a hidden musical talent, going to the Bealtaine movie at your local cinema as part of the access CINEMA/IFI film tour or taking part in the ‘Someone to go with’ initiative which pairs volunteers with socially isolated older people to share a bit of Bealtaine. Further information about the festival is available on the website www.bealtaine.com |
