The Aontas Star Award was presented to the ComMUniversity programme! Coolock Library and Walkinstown Library play a significant role in facilitating the programme.
The Awards recognise inspiring adult, community, and further education initiatives across Ireland.
The programme is managed by NUI, Maynooth and the Northside/South City Partnerships. The Aontas Star Awards are the culmination of the annual Aontas Adult Learners’ Festival.
Aontas, the National Adult Learning Organisation, is a long-established (1969) non- governmental membership organisation that promotes the value of adult learning and advocates for the rights of all adults to quality learning across the tertiary education system.
Aontas has a unique position as the national voice of adult learning and believes that building the profile and status of adult and community education is a priority and has developed a communications strategy to support this work in order to ensure our message is clear and reaches the widest possible audience.
