Annual Adult Education Conference and EAAL Annual Conference 2018

The Annual Adult Education Conference that was held on 23 and 24 October in Maribor intertwined interesting topics with three outstanding pinnacles. The first one was delivered by Dr  Vesna Vuk Godina who gave an impressive lecture about knowledge as the greatest value. During the second one we were nicely lulled in the evening by Ditka and Gorazd Čepin with Feri Lainšček. The third pinnacle event was a panel on the integration of elderly men into the community. The extensive programme and informative speakers were aptly maneuvered by Zvonka Pangerc Pahernik, MSc.

The final contributions related to the integration within the project EAAL. Zvonka Pangerc Pahernik, MSc, the coordinator of the project in Slovenia summarised the background, funding and associated key events in 2018 with EU initiative, called Upskilling Pathways. We heard brief presentations from two EAAL consulting events, organised by the SIAE in cooperation with Association of Educational and Guidance Centres of Slovenia and Society of organisations for adult education at Secondary Schools. Tanja Vilič Klenovšek, MA, presented outreach work from the point of view of the EU Council Recommendation of Upskilling Pathways. She highlighted various forms of outreach work and the conditions for its effectiveness and performance.
