We live in unprecedented times. COVID-19 has shut down large sectors of the economy, as well as entire education systems. Estimates from UNESCO show that around 90% of the world’s students are currently out of school. Like many of you, we are working from home, drafting this editorial from our home offices under shelter-in-place orders.

The COVID-19 pandemic is shaping our lives in many ways. This includes our private situation as well as our engagement as adult educators around the globe. We as DVV International feel that in this situation there is a growing need for communication and exchange. Recognizing this, we decided to start a serious of Video Podcasts with adult educators from various regions and sectors.
