Adult learning in the dual transition

At a joint event organised by the Vienna Chamber of Labour and waff, a spotlight was cast on ‘Adult learning in the field of tension between digital and sustainable transformation’.

More than 200 experts, decision-makers and prac­ti­tio­ners from the field of education policy came together at the invi­ta­ti­on of waff (Vienna Employment Promotion Fund) and the Vienna Chamber of Labour on 15 May 2024 for a con­fe­rence to hear and discuss various con­tri­bu­ti­ons on current chal­lenges in adult learning.

3s was repre­sen­ted by Günter Hefler, who not only added the European dimension of adult learning policies to the event in his pre­sen­ta­ti­on ‘From today’s politics to the vision on the horizon: Europe, the EU and the emergence of adult learning systems’, but also high­ligh­ted the con­nec­tions to the other levels of a multi-level system and demon­stra­ted its role in the deve­lo­p­ment and design of adult learning systems using examples from Austria.

Other items on the programme included the pre­sen­ta­ti­on of a survey among edu­ca­tio­nal providers regarding digi­ta­li­sa­ti­on and climate pro­tec­tion by Norbert Lachmayr and Philipp Schnell (öibf); the German socio­lo­gist Jutta Allmendinger (Berlin Social Science Center) spoke on the need for a fun­da­men­tal reo­ri­en­ta­ti­on of education and training in the life course and Anita Thaler (Interdisciplinary Research Centre for Technology, Work and Culture) shared a pre­sen­ta­ti­on on social gender equality in digital and sus­tainable trans­for­ma­ti­on processes.

The docu­men­ta­ti­on of the event is available here.
