Abstract
All International Conferences organised by the United Nations System propose intensifying and deepening of International Cooperation, so does this Conference. What is the purpose of International Cooperation? What should be its meaning in today’s global context ? What are the mechanisms which make International Cooperation effective in accomplishing its purposes? This and many related issues were discussed in a special thematic session during the Hamburg Conference.
Description
International cooperation in adult education aims to promote lifelong learning by enhancing visibility, quality, and political commitment globally. Traditionally seen as one-way financial aid from developed to developing countries, it now calls for a broader, mutually beneficial approach. This expanded cooperation includes diverse stakeholders beyond governments, such as NGOs, academia, private sector, and social movements. Effective international cooperation relies on sharing knowledge, skills, and solidarity to build capacity and sustain adult education worldwide.
