Work-oriented adult basic education in the German AlphaDekade

This year's AlphaDekade conference took place in Nürnberg from 27 to 28 September 2022, this time focusing on work-oriented adult basic education.

The con­fe­rence brought together numerous stake­hol­ders from practice, politics and science. Lectures, thematic forums and panel dis­cus­sions provided infor­ma­ti­on and invited exchange. At a project fair, various project orga­ni­sers presented their work and invited people to talk. Eva Steinheimer (3s) discussed with Ingrid Kemper (Adult Education Initiative, Austria) and Astri Pestalozzi (Directorate for Higher Education and Skills, Norway) on a panel about “Work-oriented adult basic education and Upskilling Pathways from a European perspective”.
