Learning cultures are based on individual and collective images of learning. Those images are holistic and refer to the whole context of learning. This seminar completes the International Course of Lectures and will review and discuss the lectures of the experts. A focus will be put on what international perspectives can mean for the own work as an adult educator and for the professionalisation of adult education. In the international course of lectures, several European experts will give an insight in the learning culture of their countries. Their definitions of learning cultures concerning traditions, values, social and institutional frameworks will be presented with a particular focus on adult education. They will inform about the developments of new learning cultures: what kind of new learning cultures can be observed? What are the new learning cultures especially in adult education? How does public policy promote new learning cultures? And which learning cultures are being promoted? This seminar and the International Course of Lecture will be completed by an International Workshop. The workshop will take place at the Haus am Turm in Essen and will be attended by students and lectures from the EMAE partner universities. |
