Within the framework of LLW 1997 and on the initiative of the Slovenian Institute for Adult education, awards for exceptional achievements in enriching one’s own knowledge as well as for professional and promotional achievements in enriching the knowledge of others were presented.
The basic aim of this festive event which by now has become a traditional part of the LLW is to present to the widest public outstanding individuals, groups and institutions who invest thoroughly in their learning and thereby yield great results. Through their learning endeavours they change, experience personal growth, improve their working and social status and have impacts on their environments – family, neighbourhood, community and society at large. In the period 1997-2007, SIAE presented 141 awards to winners who have been put forward from the anonymous crowd of adult learners and through their life stories the have been offered as inspiring examples to learners, non-learners and would-be-learners.
SIAE awards for exceptional achievements in adult learning are traditionally presented at the solemn LLW opening at the national level. In the year 2007, it was the 12th round and our experiences show that dedicated learners are the best advocates for lifelong learning capable of changing the public attitude towards education and learning.
The whole procedure of giving away SIAE awards is defined by Standing orders; a maximum of 15 awards can be presented annually, i.e. five per category: To individuals for exceptional learning results and enriching one’s own knowledge To groups for exceptional learning results and enriching their own knowledge To individuals, groups, institutions, enterprises and local communities for exceptional professional or promotional achievements in the process of enriching the knowledge of others.
The selection of award winners is performed by a Committee nominated by SIAE.
The call for nominations is published in LLW-Novičke, in daily newspapers and on the LLW web page. Award winners are presented to the public via different media; video portraits are posted on the web page as well.
You are invited to read the SIAE award winners’ life stories or have a look at their video-portraits (in Slovenian).
