Confident Communities – Hāpori Tū Rangatira
This year’s conference theme explores the relationship between adult learning and active citizenship.
Communities are confident and resilient when their members have a wide range of skills, knowledge and wisdom which they share with one another for the common good.
Community members become active citizens when they grow in confidence through learning together. This is how we build a democracy.
Key note presenters will share their perspectives on the link between adult learning and active citizenship and one strand of the workshop presentations will explore what active citizenship means in a variety of contexts.
The goal of the ACE Conference 2013 is that participants acquire fresh knowledge and skills about how to leverage the complementary skills and strengths within our communities for the benefit of adult learners.
