VALBEC Conference - Friday, May 16, 2008

VALBEC turns 30 …

Despite the ebb and flow of government funding, policy shifts and curriculum change, VALBEC and the adult literacy and numeracy fields it represents, continues to support large numbers of learners on their education pathways.

‘Still glides the stream’ is a motif for endurance that typifies the spirit, commitment and passion of VALBEC in its 30th year and provides the theme for the annual conference to be held on May 16, 2008 in Melbourne.

The VALBEC conference will again facilitate practitioners to engage in professional conversations and to be inspired and re-energised in the spirit of collegiality. The VALBEC conference will provide practitioners with a forum to explore new ideas and effective approaches to deal with changing student cohorts, challenging workplace conditions, variations in curriculum and compliance requirements. Together we will spend time reflecting on achievements and milestones for VALBEC and the adult education and ACE sector, providing insights for the future.
