Conference "Adult Education: Generational Reform"
A conference "Adult Education: Generational Reform" was held in Sarajevo
The Agency for Local Development Initiatives (ALDI) and the Center for Civil Initiatives (CCI), with the support of the European Union, in 2014 started the implementation of the two-year project "Education and Work", aimed at improving the rights of workers and labor mobility by establishing a legal framework for adult education by creating, advocating and monitoring adult education legislation at the level of cantons, entities and Brcko District.
The project focused on the adoption of a coherent and harmonized legal framework throughout the country regarding education, retraining and additional qualification of adults in order to improve the labor market situation, in order to reduce unemployment and to improve the position of socially marginalized groups ( older and low skilled labor, disabled people, etc.). As a result of the successful implementation of the project, the laws on adult education in Zenica-Doboj, Bosnia-Podrinje, Tuzla, West Herzegovina and Canton Sarajevo were adopted.
The final activity on the project was the holding of the Conference, on April 27, 2016, in Sarajevo, entitled "Adult Education: Generational Reform", attended by representatives of line ministries, ministries of education, pedagogical institutes, non-governmental organizations. All participants at the conference had the opportunity to exchange experiences related to education, linking education with the labor market, adult education as a chance for mass employment, vocational training, retraining, etc. This conference successfully completed a project that contributed to raising awareness about the importance of adult education.
