Under the motto ‘Adult learning and education for sustainable development – a transformative agenda’, the Seventh International Conference on Adult Education (CONFINTEA VII) will bring together stakeholders from across the globe to shape the future of adult learning and education over the next decade. As a conference outcome, participants will adopt a new framework for action, which will guide countries’ efforts to promote adult learning and education over the next decade.
