Fèile Foghlama Chorcaì
A chairde, Fáilte romhaibh go léir chuig Féile Foghlama 2026 I gCorcaigh. I am delighted to welcome you our 21st Lifelong Learning Festival in Cork. As we mark this milestone year we celebrate the Festival as a key event in the city’s learning calendar. It is a fantastic window into how Cork city celebrates and continues to develop a culture of lifelong learning that strives to ‘Leaves No-one Behind’. Cork Education and Training Board is proud to be a lead partner in the Festival since it’s pilot year in 2004, and is very proud that the festival has been recognised internationally as a model of best practice by UNESCO and by the OECD LEED Forum. With our partners in the Learning City - Cork City Council, MTU, UCC, NAPD, the HSE, and Cork Chamber - Cork ETB are committed to improving access to Lifelong Learning, and we see the Lifelong Learning Festival as one of the key strategies to achieve this. I want to thank the organising committee, under the guidance of Chairperson Willie McAuliffe, the Festival Co-ordinator James Leonard, the Learning City Team in Cork City Council, and all those voluntary, community, statutory and private sector partners who contribute to this ongoing success in so many ways.

We hope your involvement in this year’s festival, whether as an event host, or as a participant (or both) is inspiring, and enjoyable. Thank you for making Cork Lifelong Learning Festival a thriving expression of our personality and our values as a Learning City and a City of Welcomes and a true celebration of our lifelong learning culture!
