Welcome
to International Adult Learners
Week in This website
documents the work of a transnational network project supported by the
Socrates/Grundtvig programme of the European Commission. Yet, beyond
containing the records of a project, the website is meant to communicate the value of adult and lifelong
learning and to provide a gateway to the learning festivals landscape
in On the
website, you will find background
information on the network, its aims and objectives
and working methods. You will equally find information
on the network partners, all of whom coordinate
national or local learning festivals in their respective countries.
Separate country
windows will provide an overview of these learning
festivals. A major space
on the website is reserved to share the working results of the network.
These include activities undertaken by the network, both among the network
partners as well as in cooperation with adult learners from the partner
countries, but more importantly the technical
support tools to promote and improve learning
festivals, with a special view on organizing a learning festival, creating
partnerships, and evaluating a learning festival. A separate section is
dedicated for the policy
proposals developed by the network partners as well as
by the adult learners involved in the network activities.
The products,
in particular the two network publications, can also be assessed and
downloaded as PDF files. Check out the collection of adult learners'
voices "I
did it my way. Journeys of Learning in Europe" in
English, French or Spanish. It contains the learning biographies told by
learners from as many as fourteen different countries!
Practitioners,
providers and policy makers are
encouraged to visit the pages and to be enthused by the possibilities of
learning festivals as powerful mobilization strategies for lifelong
learning. Current and future
organizers of learning festivals are likewise encouraged
to make use of the support tools when trying to establish their own
festival or to improve a current one. And finally
adult learners
are invited to wander through the pages: Click on the country windows and
check out the learning festival in your own country! Or read the learning
stories of other learners! And maybe you would like to add your own story!
If you would
like to have your own story
published on this site, or if you would like to amend the
list of tools, or add a policy proposal, of if you simply would like to
comment or criticize or ask a question, please contact Bettina
