At the last PIMA committee meeting we discussed plans for the years 2024/25, which transpired through the group discussion in the Annual General Meeting. One area to work on with PIMA members and friends will be the role of Higher Education (HE) supporting Adult  Learning and Education (ALE). It seems to be close to the heart and interest of colleagues, and at the same time an important area that needs follow-up after the UNESCO World Conference on Higher Education as well as CONFINTEA VII.

The topic is wide, and we shall face the challenge to narrow it down to a doable size. However, some of the key questions to consider are:

  • What are the choices and limitations for HE to support the development of ALE?
  • How can HE use its teaching and research functions to strengthen ALE?
  • What are potential areas for future networking and project cooperation?

We are planning for a respective Webinar sometime in October 2024, and a PIMA Bulletin Special Issue for early 2025. In this respect we should highly appreciate if those who are interested to join the preparatory work with ideas or as presenters or authors to get into contact with us – that means the PIMA Team consisting of Julia Denholm, Colette February, Heribert Hinzen and Balázs Németh.
