About ESREA
The European Society for Research on the Education of Adults (ESREA) promotes and disseminates theoretical and empirical research on the education of adults and adult learning in Europe through research networks, conferences and publications.
ESREA is made up of several networks which on a regular basis have meetings at which research around certain themes is discussed. At the moment, ESREA has seven active networks, and each active network has a meeting every year. Among these is the ESREA Network on Between Global and Local: Adult Learning and Development. This network is aimed at joining together European researchers committed to studying the multiple relationships between community development and adult learning.
Different scales of development should be analysed together, clearly identifying the global and regional/ local dimensions of them. It involves educational processes and opportunities for social change, focusing on people’s autonomy and emancipation. The idea is to create a network capable of encouraging research on development in the context of globalization, through territorial and microscale approaches, urban and rural studies, and taking in regenerating communities, learning places and spaces, regional development and planning. Above all, all these themes can show the central role of adult learning in the processes of development.
