Editorial: Education 2030 & Adult Learning: Global Perspectives and Local Communities – Bridges or Gaps?

This thematic issue of Studies in Adult Education and Learning was born out of the work done at the 10th Conference of the ESREA Research Network Between Global and Local: Adult Learning and Communities (BGL-ALC) which was held in Opatija in Croatia, from the 7th to the 10th of June 2018, organised by the Adult Education Institution DANTE (Ustanova za obrazovanje odraslih), an institution with vigorous roots in local and regional educational networks and active at a European level in numerous EU projects and cooperative efforts. The organisers of the conference together with the convenors of the BGL-ALC Research Network chose as a title for the conference: “Education 2030 & Adult Learning: Global Perspectives and Local Communities - Bridges or Gaps? Agendas, praxis and research”.
