Adult education, said Britain’s Ministry of Reconstruction in 1919, “is an inseparable aspect of citizenship, and therefore should be both universal and lifelong”, adding: “We need to think out educational methods and possibilities from the new point of view, that of the adult learning to be a citizen.”

This was probably the first government report anywhere about adult education to be based on serious empirical research. It shaped the field in Britain, and is recognised as a landmark across the world. In Britain, the centenary is providing an opportunity for new thinking about “the provision for, and possibilities of” adult education – looking at the century ahead.
This conference is an opportunity for adult educators and scholars to join a global reflection on what the field has achieved across the world over the past century, on where we are now, and on how adult education should be “reconstructed” for the century ahead.
