    10th Triennial ESREA Research Conference

    Organiser: European Society for Research on the Education of Adults

    In the last two years, adult lives and learning have dra­ma­ti­cal­ly changed. New emerging land­scapes are chal­len­ging indi­vi­du­als and coll­ec­ti­vi­ties, espe­ci­al­ly the vul­nerable and dis­pos­s­es­sed. Will they also bring new oppor­tu­ni­ties? What is the con­tri­bu­ti­on of research on adult education and learning?

    7th Crossing Boundaries Conference

    Learning Across Continents: Conversations in a divided world

    VETNET

    Topics:

    • How do we understand the role of VET in preparing young people for work when labour markets and workplaces are in flux nationally and internationally?
    • Is this changing the nature of VET and VET curricula? Is it raising new questions on work, labour markets and education? What is core to VET that is stable across different contexts?
    • Are systems looking more similar or more different from each other?
    • What are the main factors—such as workplace organisation, changing labour markets, changing enrolment in schools and universities, and the nature of economies that are influencing different aspects of VET provision—such as curriculum, governance, partnerships, enrollment patterns—in different countries?
    • How do we connect better as researchers, and use VET research to build connection?
