Academy of Lifelong Learning Advocacy III

The International Council for Adult Education (ICAE) is pleased to announce its third edition of the Academy of Lifelong Learning Advocacy that will be held in Montevideo, Uruguay, from September 24 to October 12, 2007.

The ICAE Academy of Lifelong Learning, was first launched in Buskerud, Norway in 2004. Its second edition was also held in Norway in 2005 and it was not possible to hold the third edition in 2006, despite the great interest raised. Therefore, with renewed energy and an updated programme according to the changing global context, we are launching this third edition that aims to give emerging leaders in adult learning and social movement activists the opportunity to empower themselves and acquire the skills to advocate for and support adult learning for active citizenship.

Our objective is to help them generate a broader vision of adult education and lifelong learning within the framework of human rights, developing linkages with the most important globalization issues that are currently affecting the world, and support the emergence of a new leadership, for the global network of adult educators, to secure the regeneration of ICAE and the movements for lifelong learning in general.
