The stocktaking study on Lifelong Learning for Democratic Citizenship through Adult Education (LLL-EDC study) is financed under the EU Socrates-Grundtvig scheme (Grant no.: 225292-CP-1-2005-1-DK-GRUNDTVIG-G1). The study focuses on policies and practices of adult education for democratic citizenship.

The study aims at collecting evidence and providing an analytical review at European level. It will also strengthen evidence-based policy making and advocacy in the field adult learning for democratic citizenship at local, national and European level (e.g. EU Lisbon process).

Data gathering

The Study combines empirical collection of data, and events which ensure the participation of relevant stakeholders (meeting with practitioners, policy dialogue meeting, national consultations). It is collaborative and transnational. It links research, policy and practice.

Outcomes

The primary outcome of the study will be in the form of reports released during the project periode. At the end of the study these reports will be combined and summarised in a concluding report which will be released at a final conference.
