What’s the purpose of adult education and lifelong learning in the times of crises?
Adult education has traditionally focused on providing equal opportunities of education and learning for all, especially in the Nordic countries. Education has been considered as a public good, valuable in itself, a firm foundation for a democratic society and a source of opportunities for meaningful work. In today’s world we are facing multiple crises such as climate change, digital disruption/AI, disinformation, social polarization and involuntary migration. In these circumstances adult education and adult education research become more important than ever in addressing the aforementioned global challenges. Research based knowledge forms a solid basis for tackling these threats. Adult education and lifelong learning are crucial in educating citizens in facing these multiple challenges.
