dvv international Bonn is planning to conduct conference in collaboration with the Academy of Conflict Transformation (Bonn, Germany), Alliance for Historical Dialogue and Accountability (AHDA),Columbia University (New York, USA) and theEuropean Association for the Education of Adults(EAEA).
The conference will focus on the role of Adult and Youth Education in the past and issues of reconciliation. More and more youth and adult education providers are involved in the process of reconciliation with the events of the past. The role of non-formal education in this area has increased compared to previous years.
Today experts are involved in the study of such trends and approaches, such as nation and identity building, democratization, processing, memories, biographical works, work with witnesses, etc.
This requires high professional capacity and accountability of these organisations and professionals working in this field, both on theoretical and practical level.
The Conference plans to systematize the experience gained and lessons learned from the past, to bridge the existing gap between theory and practice and to offer tools for working in this area, as well as solving the problem.
The form of the Conference includes speeches by specialists, discussions and interactive workshops.
