We are delighted to announce that Fundacion Bofil is organising in collaboration with the PASCAL Observatory a seminar and conference on 7 November 2013 in Barcelona related to the recent PIAAC report. In order to facilitate productive discussions in the seminar, the number of participants will be limited to approximately 30 invited individuals. The evening conference is opened to the general public. Full details are attached.

We are very pleased that John McCann, former Director of Next Practice, College Development Network, Scotland, is able to join us to give a Scottish perspective. A follow-up event in Scotland is being planned in collaboration with PASCAL, the College Development Network and the Scottish Adult Learning Partnership in Edinburgh in early 2014.
