Mid-Term Review of CONFINTEA VI

The Power of Adult Learning: Vision 2030
25-27 October 2017, Suwon, Republic of Korea

In 2009, representatives of 144 countries met at CONFINTEA VI in Brazil. They agreed that adult learning and education (ALE) can transform the lives of individuals, strengthen societies and promote sustainable development. They committed to improving their ALE policies and practices through the adoption of the landmark Belém Framework for Action.

At this Mid-Term Review (MTR), participants will take stock of progress made since 2009, identify achievements and challenges, and consider trends and policies that will shape the future of ALE. The expected outcome is to build a shared Vision for Adult Learning and Education, in accordance with SDG4 - Education 2030, and prepare for CONFINTEA VII.

Find out more about the MTR’s goals in the concept note.
