RE-PAVING THE WAY TO CONFINTEA VI

After recovering from the shock caused by the postponement of CONFINTEA VI (hence, FISC) we think that it is essential that we re-schedule our activities for the rest of the year, to keep the momentum and motivation to participate in FISC and CONFINTEA VI. Therefore, we invite all the organizations involved in adult education and lifelong learning to pave the way, once again, towards CONFINTEA VI, organizing preparatory activities throughout the different regions across the world to deepen our reflections and get better prepared for the conference.Along this line, some activities have already been programmed:On June 21st. the Day of the Non Sexist Education is celebrated and the Popular Education Network of Women from Latin America and the Caribbean (REPEM) is planning to organize some events within this preparatory process.On June 23-24, the International Conference on Financing Adult Education for Development will be held in Bonn, organized by dvv International, ASPBAE, EAEA and ICAE.Likewise a virtual seminar will be organized by ICAE between August and September. We hope that all the regions are able to organize at least one activity so as to have a stronger position for FISC and CONFINTEA VI that will possibly take place by the end of this year.
