confintea VI living and learning for a viable future: the power of adult learning

Descrição

Regional synthesis reports and outcome documents online
In the run-up to CONFINTEA VI, 151 Member States produced national reports, giving insights into the state of adult learn-
ing and education in their countries. From this rich source, UIL distilled synthesis reports for each UNESCO region which
fed into the five regional preparatory conferences.
Each conference debated and discussed the particular adult learning and education situation of their region, and adopted
a statement on progress, but also on the action that still needs to be taken at the regional level. The statements, in the
form of outcome documents, also proposed recommendations to take forward to CONFINTEA VI.
While reflecting the specific needs and contexts of each region, there is a unity of purpose that prevails throughout these
documents. They clearly recognise the role that adult learning and education have to play in agendas for sustainable de-
velopment, citizenship, rights and equalities, work, poverty reduction, community development and social justice.
Most of the synthesis reports and outcome documents from the five CONFINTEA VI regional conferences are now ready for
download at www.unesco.org/en/confintea. They are available in English; some are also in French and Spanish.
