The Centre for Adult Education and Community Development was established in 1951, replacing the External Service for Social Education. In the 1950s, the Centre gained an international reputation for excellence in adult educational programming. The Centre developed a humanist philosophy and methodology of adult education and applied its humanist principles to intensive work with co-operatives, unions, adult educators, community leaders, broadcasters, young farmers, and Catholic social agencies. In 1964, Laval closed the Centre as the institution explicitly endeavoured to disengage from instructional programmes that were not considered to be at a ‘university level’. The Centre was not merely closed—it was erased from institutional history. This article provides a historical case study of an important francophone institution of adult education, and it provokes reflection regarding the alignment of adult educational philosophies, methods, and programmes, as well as sometimes painful questions about the life cycle of organisations and programmes. As practitioners, we sometimes are forced to accept that the work we cherish cannot continue; as scholars, we should do our best to ensure that such work is not forgotten.","PeriodicalId":42210,"journal":{"name":"Studies in the Education of Adults-NIACE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44889778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study used qualitative case study methods of interviews, observations, and document review. Through purposive sampling techniques, twelve farmer-educators were selected from Bududa district. The findings show how farmer-educators adopted place-based education, problem-based education, project-based education, and learning histories to enhance experiential learning of innovative farming practices among small-scale farmers. However, effective experiential education via the aforementioned approaches is hampered by a lack of funding, ineffective programme design, and insufficient professional competencies. The study gives a clearer understanding of how experiential educational approaches can be adopted to provoke farmers’ critical reflection through connecting and corroborating past experiences to current scenarios for effective learning and adoption of innovative farming practices.","PeriodicalId":42210,"journal":{"name":"Studies in the Education of Adults-NIACE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42664483","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the linguistic and socio-cultural effects of European training mobilities have been extensively studied, their effectiveness in supporting active citizenship and the emergence of shared community values remains largely unexplored. Similarly, no previous research has attempted to systematise the various conceptualisations of European civic and democratic values invoked in mobility projects addressing the topic. To bridge this lacuna, this paper reviews qualitative data from EU school-based mobility projects whose stated purpose, singularly or in conjunction with other educational goals, is the promotion of European civic awareness and democratic values among adult participants in a Spanish region. The methodological approach for the compilation of the corpus of project records, data extraction, and processing follows that of Qualitative Comparative Analyses. The results point to a broad operationalisation of European civic and democratic themes in the examined projects. The coexistence of a limited number of specific proposals for deliberate educational intervention aimed at promoting democracy and European citizenship abroad, alongside the prevailing stance, posits a spontaneous acquisition of such values through participation in transnational learning activities aimed at developing communicative, intercultural, and digital skills, is also reported.","PeriodicalId":42210,"journal":{"name":"Studies in the Education of Adults-NIACE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45424218","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this regard, informal learning and literacies cultivate critical reflexivity of people to perform like activists. This paper aims to explore informal learning and literacies that foster awareness of existing social hierarchies and structures to help bring about change in family and social life. Two adult women’s groups were purposefully selected in a village in Nepal. The main sources of data were persistent observations of these groups in a number of meetings, transient walks in the village, and participation in a range of community activities. Two women from each group were selected for in-depth interviews. The themes emerging were generated and analysed from three human interest perspectives: technical, practical, and emancipatory, using the concepts of Jurgen Habermas. This paper found that everyday life activities are embedded in learning and literacies which result in the critical reflexivity of a marginalised group of people. Critical reflexivity has helped them to think through their value system and to anticipate the changes in their life. The paper concludes that informal learning and literacies are the process of activism that enables change in the lives of adult women and the wider community, thereby recognising and valuing adult learning and literacies.","PeriodicalId":42210,"journal":{"name":"Studies in the Education of Adults-NIACE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48856805","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the relentless push of neoliberalism has struck at the heart of adult education provision in many countries, including that provided by universities, institutions of further education, international development agencies, NGOs, vocational training centres and the local government sector, what can adult educators learn and what is being learnt when we turn to sites of community activism? For example, Tett and Hamilton (2019, p. 253), drawing on Williams’ (1989) ‘resources of hope’, point to the importance of ‘... persisting with what may seem like mundane, everyday, acts of resistance that are based on seeing and seising opportunities to do and say things differently’. Raymond Williams identified the cultural hegemony implicit in elite education systems as leading to ‘a very restricted and privileged and stagnant view of the world’ (Williams 1983, p. 255). He saw a particular place for adult education, as implicitly activist, seeking to ‘unseat the status quo’ (Walters 2022), tackling cognitive injustice and cultural hegemony.

Emergent solidarity nexuses are sites of knowledge production and amplify grassroots struggles. This article explores how a local grassroots struggle against a proposed mining project at Roșia Montană, Romania was catalysed by processes of incidental learning—through local experiences with preparatory development—which gave rise to more intentional forms of local learning and place-based praxis. The formation of a growing trans/national solidarity network arose from these early efforts and intertwined with the grassroots struggle, augmenting knowledge production with non-formal and formal approaches to learning. Knowledge was produced through various forms and towards critical, informational, tactical, and strategic purposes. The findings herein contribute to the literature on a broadened understanding of adult education from the lens of learning in social action. Further, this article offers an exploratory description of the processes of learning in social action at a nexus of grassroots struggle and a trans/national solidarity network and contributes to an understanding of how diverse forms of learning in social action are integral to processes of local and national social change.","PeriodicalId":42210,"journal":{"name":"Studies in the Education of Adults-NIACE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44280534","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Comparable only to the rust belt States in the US these figures point to the impact of the rapid scale of deindustrialisation and a global neoliberal economy, based on austerity, deepening class divisions and a return to a more naked form of capitalism. The question is, does a critical pedagogy have a role to play in understanding and addressing the challenges involved? In other words, how can a practice of such a pedagogy allow participants to deconstruct and decode the structures of domination that oppress and divide them/us? Such pedagogy has undergone differing degrees of reassessment as it no longer serves as an ‘adequate platform from which to mount a vigorous challenge to the current social division of labour’. However, the need for a critical pedagogy, rooted in a Freirean notion of hope, for such communities has never been more apparent. This article will attempt to resolve the extent to which such a pedagogy translate from its esoteric detachment to one rooted in history, place and practices, and one capable of engaging with the most disadvantaged, and colonialised fraction of the Scottish society.","PeriodicalId":42210,"journal":{"name":"Studies in the Education of Adults-NIACE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44860384","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
