Under the motto ‘Adult learning and education for sustainable development – a transformative agenda’, the Seventh International Conference on Adult Education (CONFINTEA VII) will bring together stakeholders from across the globe to shape the future of adult learning and education over the next decade. As a conference outcome, participants will adopt a new framework for action, which will guide countries’ efforts to promote adult learning and education over the next decade.

DVV International has been working with local partners to promote lifelong learning and strengthen adult learning and education (ALE) in Ukraine for over twelve years. We would therefore like to provide an insight into the work that our colleagues and civil society partners have done in recent years.
