Book Salon with Sverker Sörlin about Adult Education as a Unifying Force

Wednesady, September 9th, at 6pm, Book Salon with Sverker Sörlin, ticket 300:-. The book 'In Defense of Adult Education' is included!

Adult education has been one of the strongest unifying forces in Swedish society. The liberating force of education combined with a sense of responsibility, order, and shared values brought people together across political, social, and cultural boundaries. Through its pedagogical methods, adult education has strengthened trust, cooperation, and a shared knowledge capital among young and old, regardless of background. Today, as adult education's role is being questioned and undermined, we see the consequences in the form of decreased literacy, increased divisions, and uncertainty about democracy, knowledge, and social values.

In 'In Defense of Adult Education', Sverker Sörlin highlights the rich history of adult education, its critical importance for the future, and how we can ensure its continued existence.
