In today's world of accelerated progress and change, the skills to solve problems, think critically, communicate effectively, and manage lives are essential for people to flourish in the 21st century. The purpose of the study is to explore the role of Learning Neighborhood Programme for achieving the necessary life skills that adult learners need to help them during the present pandemic. The research also investigates if there is a difference, by gender and number of courses, to confront the COVID-19 crisis and the benefits that participants received during the pandemic. A self-administered questionnaire was utilized. The results illustrated that the adult learners who enrolled in the Learning Neighborhood Programme perceived the benefit of life skills by practicing these skills during the crisis. Additionally, the results revealed differences for both life skills based on the number of courses that learners had taken during the present pandemic for people who took five or more courses.
