Overview
The Conference seeks to explore research and practice on

self-actualization, and validate through researched documentation
such adult education experiments that are being conducted globally for women’s
empowerment.
Adult Education refers to ...”the entire body of
organized educational processes, whatever the content, level and method,
whether formal or otherwise, whether they prolong or replace initial education
in schools, colleges and universities as well as in apprenticeship, whereby
persons regarded as adult by the society to which they belong develop their
abilities, enrich their knowledge, improve their technical or professional
qualifications or turn them in a new direction and bring about changes in their
attitudes or behaviour in the twofold perspective of full personal development
and participation in balanced and independent social, economic and cultural development...”
[UNESCO Charter, Recommendation on the Development of Adult
Education, published in Canada (Ottawa: Canadian Commission for UNESCO, 1980
[1976])]
