Shaping futures, empoweing lives: Lifelong learning at the heart of flourishing for individuals and societies
Welcome to the Tenth Nordic Conference on Adult Education and Learning. This conference serves as a vibrant meeting point for researchers, policy makers, organizational leaders, and other practitioners. Through a series of plenary sessions, paper presentations, roundtable discussions, and informal networking breaks, we will delve into the central role of lifelong learning and adult education to empower citizens to lead fulfilling lives, overcome challenges, and collectively foster resilient societies in the face of global challenges.
As we cast our gaze towards the future, we recognize that learning, humanity’s success strategy, will assume an even more central role in our daily lives, and all our lives. However, we must also acknowledge that adult education and learning have often been relegated to a remedial role, used to ‘fix’ issues rather than being integrated seamlessly into our everyday activities.
This conference is not just a gathering, but an opportunity for introspection and growth. It provides us with a unique opportunity to reflect on the insights gained by researchers and practitioners in the field, refine our methodologies, and chart new paths. Our ultimate goal is to ensure that the individuals and communities we serve are equipped with ample opportunities for lifelong learning.
The program committee invites papers, symposia and workshops on all aspects on adult learning and education, and hopes that together with the keynote presentation you will be inspired interesting and useful discussions bringing our research, practice and policymaking even better.
