UNESCO has announced the new dates of the Sixth International Conference on Adult Education (CONFINTEA 6): the Conference will b convened on December 1-4 in Belem, Para, Brazil. CONFINTEA 6 was postponed from its original dates in May on account of the Influenza A (H1N1) or the swine flu pandemic. The circular released by UNESCO in announcing the new dates indicated that invitations sent earlier will remain valid. This means that slots to civil society organizations for the event will remain secure inspite the change in dates.
The International Council for Adult Education (ICAE) has also announced the new dates of the International Civil Society Forum (FISC) on November 28-30. As planned, this will provide the space for civil society organizations attending CONFINTEA 6 to coordinate plans in pursuit of their advocacy and lobbying strategies and targets.
ICAE and ASPBAE will soon be announcing its upcoming activities building up to the Belem Conference, aimed to better ensure stronger policy commitments and credible outcomes from this important policy process for adult education.
