III International Seminar ESREA Netwokr Between Global and Local: Local development, community and adult learning: learning landscapes between the mainstream and the margins

The III Seminar of this network is organized by the European Society for Research on the Education of Adults (ESREA) and the University of Magdeburg (Germany).

Tthe seminar will focus on 'landscapes' of adult learning and development caught up in the tension of change.

Magdeburg as the venue of this III European Seminar after Faro and Wroclaw brings the work of the network closer to the physical centre of Europe and at the same time to a region experiencing many of the problems of marginality.

This city and region, with historically rich patterns of identity and a social memory embodied in past and present social movements for local development, education and democracy, provide the stage for the questions we wish to pose.
