Live and Learn
A film by Kevin Nikkel
Original music by Jesse Krause
Live and Learn is a short documentary film about learning in adulthood. Going back to school as an adult can feel intimidating but it is worth it. These are stories from people who decided to go back to an adult learning center and upgrade their skills, get high school credits, and for many of them, to graduate with a Mature High School Diploma. The results are amazing.
Live and Learn world premiered at ASEC's 2024 Spring Conference!
