Topics
Through presentations by established
national and international experts, we wish to use this adult
education colloquium to highlight and promote the dissemination of new
theoretical and empirical findings from research projects, whereby
special emphasis will be given to the following salient topics:
which are the
main shifts in the
conceptualisations of “active” and “democratic” citizenship, and what
are the inherent implications for the development of education and
learning strategies in this area, especially in the inclusion of thus
far excluded population groups;
what kinds of concepts and strategies
should be drawn up for the successful learning of active
democratic participation in society on the national and global levels;
we will attempt to identify
knowledge,
skills and competences needed to implement active citizenship,
both in terms of support for building identities and effective
functioning in society;
we will devote special attention to
recognising effective methods of promoting links
between active
citizenship and lifelong learning;
we will exchange
experiences and best
practices with international experts and examine the possibilities
for disseminating successful approaches into post-transitional social
contexts;
another task of the meeting will be to
identify key issues and areas for further activities and determine
their priorities.
Thematic areas that will be addressed by
individual working groups include:
knowledge, skills and competences
necessary for establishing active citizenship,
educational and learning strategies for
active citizenship in the concept of lifelong learning, and measures
for including groups that have thus far been left behind,
activities that contribute to promoting
education and learning for active citizenship.
