Introduction: CONFINTEA VI: Lifelong learning for sustainability

Ana Agostino

Development, 2010, vol. 53, issue 4, 460-464

Abstract: Ana Agostino argues that youth and adult education is a key area for constructing just and sustainable societies, but it is not fully recognized as such nor given the financial and other support to be implemented as a human right. She shares information on what happened at the latest United Nations (UN) Conference on Youth and Adult Education (CONFINTEA), thus highlighting the role played by civil society in promoting a broader recognition of and commitment with the field. She compares the low attention paid to this conference vis-à-vis the conference on climate change and argues that both fields are interdependent.
