Dear colleagues and members of the ESREA network on Active Democratic Citizenship and Adult Learning,

We are very happy to share with you the call for papers for the network’s next conference which is to be held in Faro, Portugal on 24-26 october later this year. 

In past network events we have explored a range of topics – from engaging in a series of dialogues during the Covid19 pandemic on the theme of freedom and what we might learn from experiments in democracy, to convening live in Belgrade last year looking to explore the limits of what we know. Following the exciting and vital conversations generated in these events, we next want to turn to radical ideas as they relate to popular education. The conference theme for this year is „Thinking against the grain: Critical Pedagogy, Popular Education and Revolution” and you can find our first call for papers attached to this e-mail.

We warmly invite your contributions and hope to see you in Faro later this year!

54th eucen Annual Conference – CORK – Eucen

Save the date: EAEA annual events in Helsinki, 11-12 June 2024; EAEA podcast and new online course now availlable

Dear Colleagues in Adult and Lifelong Learning,

I hope you’re doing well!

We’re happy to announce that the next General Assembly, Grundtvig Award Ceremony and Annual Conference will take place on 11-12 June 2024.  Please save the date and join us in Helsinki, Finland, to discuss the Power of Adult Learning and Education: Transforming Lives, Communities and Society. 

The events will be hosted by our Finnish member KVS, the Finnish Lifelong Learning Foundation, and organised in collaboration with ICAE, the International Council for Adult Education. We hope to see you there!

In other news, we’d like to share with you our first podcast Beyond Learning, in which we explore stories of learning, and stories of change. On Beyond Learning, we talk to people trying to imagine a more sustainable world and putting their ideas into practice. We meet with adult learners, educators and community organisers from around Europe to visit urban gardens, participate in festivals, and witness art projects in the making. We ask them why learning should be at the heart of a greener future, and how it has already shaped their lives and communities.

In the first episode, we take a tour around a wooden settlement in the centre of Warsaw with a unique history. In the second episode, we meet with a Brussels-based illustrator as she’s preparing for her next art project to talk about how she learned to draw as an adult. New episodes are published every other Thursday.

Finally, you’re also welcome to have a look at our new online course which provides an Introduction to Adult learning in Europe. The modules, published every three weeks, will cover the concept of adult learning, examples of how it’s practiced across the continent, and adult learning methods and approaches. The first module is now available and you can enrol in the course on our e-learning platform learning.eaea.org. Many thanks to those of you who contributed with videos following our call last summer!

Don’t forget that the registrations to our training on project design in adult learning are now open!
