Principal's Welcome

picture of Annie WilliamsThis is a year to celebrate adult education in Wales. Coleg Harlech was founded 80 years ago and the WEA was established in south Wales in 1907. Between the north and south Wales WEAs last year we had 17,381 students in 542 locations.

Coleg Harlech WEA(N) is therefore a well established organisation that has roots extending back a long way in the communities of north and mid-Wales. It is a real achievement that it is still growing and developing. This is due to the commitment and hard work of our staff and supporters.

We are keen to promote involvement by students and volunteers in all our activities. Our courses have been identified by learners themselves or organisations in the community that work closely with us.

I hope you will find something of interest to you and we always encourage comments and feedback to make sure we’re meeting your needs. We try to offer a friendly and relaxed environment with tutors who are sympathetic. Being part of the WEA is more than just turning up for a class, it is a way to make friends, find new interests and explore further learning opportunities. We also encourage involvement in the organisation and management of Coleg Harlech WEA(N).

I hope you enjoy your learning with us.

Annie Williams
