The VIII ICAE World Assembly was held 15-16 June 2011, in Malmo, Sweden. 700 participants from 82 countries debated four core themes around the topic of adult education:

(1) Lifelong learning for sustainability in a climate changing world

(2) Follow up to the MDGs, the EFA Goals and the CONFINTEA agenda

(3) No right to decent work without decent learning

(4) The Nordic folkbildning and worldwide challenges.

Several GCE members and board members were present at the conference, with Camilla Croso, GCE President, acting as rapporteur. Find out more about the work of ICAE and read the World Assembly report here:  http://www.icae2.org/
