I am giving you upcoming notification of the SCUTREA Council and AGM Meeting to be held on Thursday 7th May 2020, at Birkbeck, University of London.
This meeting is going to be very important for the organisation as we will be approving the new Honorary Officer posts for Chair, Treasurer and Membership Secretary and SCUTREA 2021 conference.
The meeting will be followed by a Research Seminar on Adult Education and Community Activism
Research Seminar: Adult Education and Community Activism
For those practicing/researching in the field of adult
education in the UK it seems we are operating in the ruins of a once well
recognised and funded terrain Over the past two decades, the closure of Centres of Lifelong Learning in universities
predominately across England and Wales ;the
eradication of funding and adult education programmes in FE; the closure of
local government provision has resulted in
what feels like the extinction of adult education. However, one area where
adult education is alive and some may argue ‘flourishing’ is in community
activism. This event aims to bring together researchers, practitioners and
those with an interest in the area of adult education and community activism to
reinvigorate the field of adult education. Research on community activism and
adult education will be presented to stimulate discussion, including
identifying pressing areas for ongoing research.
