Even though the end of the same decade with its economic and financial crisis made active citizenship to fade away and employability to dominate the discourse around adult learning, but towards 2020, we hope that this conference will demonstrate in what ways culture may help to recognise that learning is for life and not just for jobs. Participants of the conference are invited to reflect on themes like: Adult Learning and the Cultural Context; Learning Communities and Community Learning; Citizenship, Active Citizenship and Responsibility; Participation and Performance in Adult Learning; Teaching and Learning with Adults: the Social Dimension. Matters of Quality and Professionalism 4
