Dear CMAtlv members and sympathizers,

We confirm here that the VI WORLD FORUM FOR LIFE-LONG LEARNING which was scheduled to take place in Brussels in June 2020 is DEFERRED to 2021. We will include in it a forward-looking reflection on what the current global crisis commits us to implementing in terms of Lifelong Learning. We will keep you informed of changes in dates and program.

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.
