The
Workers’ Educational Association was established in 1913. This photo featured
was taken in 1918 at the first ever conference of the WEA. This image is a
testament to the historical significance of the WEA, and through this blog we
aim to celebrate this anniversary of 100 years with the South Australian
community that we call family.

| 1918 - First Conference of the WEA |
We have discovered an archive full of
photographs that help us form a visual lifetime for our organisation, however,
there are gaps in this timeline and we strive to fill it with the help of our
readers. Who best to ask than the past students, staff and educators
themselves? Your memories and experiences of the WEA are unique and valuable to
us. Whether it is a class you joined on a whim, or a long lasting attendance
with the WEA, the simplest recollection will enhance our anthology and pay
tribute to this special occasion.
We
wish to explore the history of the WEA and to commemorate its historic
prominence while celebrating its bright future. If you recognise a face in an
image, or it triggers a memory, comment on our blog post or the photo! If you
have a photo you would like to share with us we would love to see it, so please
email it to us at WEA2013@wea-sa.com.au.
This
photo featured from 1918 is a rare and significant image to begin our
historical journey of the WEA.
We
are eager to hear and learn more about the last 100 years, so tell us, what was
your first experience with the WEA?
