Possible Contribution:
I have acquired extensive experience over the past several years in various areas of LLG and LLL and would like to make a dedicated contribution to the European discourse on these topics, as well as topics that are very important to the Austrian Adult Education Association.
The key points are:
- Basic education and alphabetization
- Political education
- Active Ageing
- Capability of cultural expression as part of our identity / cultural awareness
It is also a particular concern of mine that the European discourse should be conveyed to Austrian adult education and communicated to important decision-makers in the government departments. My excellent national networking to adult education institutions, government departments and political representatives helps me to achieve this.
As Carinthia is in the Alps-Adriatic Region (Austria, Italy, Slovenia), I have established good contacts to adult education Institutions in northern Italy and Slovenia, whose concerns I would also like to consider, as they do not have any seats on the board.
