My name is Dr Patrick Holloway and I work at the ASEM LLL Hub at UCC. As CR&DALL members work closely with the ASEM LLL Hub, I am pleased to take the opportunity to tell subscribers a little about my background with adult education.

On 19 May 2021, with the adoption of the Berlin Declaration for Sustainable Development (ESD), participants at the UNESCO World Conference on ESD committed to promoting its integration at all levels of education. The UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) will support UNESCO Member States in their efforts to turn this commitment into reality.
