Learning in a global society
Learning in a global society
A project to promote the concept of learning in a global society has been launched by the Development Education Association, the National Institute of Adult and Continuing Education (NIACE) and the Workers' Educational Association. Global Perspectives in Lifelong Learning, funded by the Department for International Development, aims to raise awareness and engage more adult learners and policy makers in lifelong learning that addresses challenges such as global citizenship, exclusion and marginalization of the poor from development processes, in addition to equipping people for the global economy. Alan Tuckett, NIACE director, said:
Too often, sustainable development, global citizenship and global interdependence remain terms debated in the policy papers. The ideas they embody need to inform what people study and how they study, across the full range of adult learning, if we want to create a learning society.
