These awards are a celebration of how lifelong learning enables people to change their lives and how learning has become the vehicle for improvement in life, work and community. Special consideration was given in the judging process to individual candidates who have overcome significant social, economic, or educational barriers to realising their full learning potential.

The awards provided a great opportunity for the people of Cork to nominate individuals and projects that have inspired us by their innovation endeavor and resilience through their Lifelong Learning actions over the past year. These awards are a celebration of how lifelong learning enables people to change their lives and how learning has become a way to improvement in life, work and community.
