Facilitating the exchange and dissemination of information and practices in lifelong learning and widening participation to higher education
Our new website is currently being constructed. Whilst it is being built, you can find lots of information about FACE, including how to join, on this page.
About
Established in 1993, FACE (The Forum for Access and Continuing Education) is a UK-wide network for those involved and concerned with access, continuing education and lifelong learning, and facilitates the exchange and dissemination of information and practices.
As a multi-sector network, FACE and its members are at the forefront of the challenges involved in providing lifelong learning opportunities. We play a key role as a pressure group, service provider, staff development forum, national policy shaper, information service and event organiser.
