SUMMARY:COVID-19 and its impact on Adult Learning and Education
DESCRIPTION:\nREGISTER HERE\nCurrent debates and policy initiatives dominan
 tly look at mitigating COVID-19 impacts on formal schooling\, such as the 
 effects of the shift to online learning. Against this backdrop\, less atte
 ntion is given to adult learning despite being widely recognised as having
  a vital role to play in the post-COVID-19 community strengthening. This w
 ebinar will explore the (potential) effects of the pandemic to adult learn
 ing and education programmes in contrasting contexts of Afghanistan\, the 
 Philippines\, Uganda\, and the UK. Drawing from these reflections\, we hop
 e that a better understanding of how COVID-19 affects ALE programmes will 
 open up discussions on how academia\, governments\, and civil society acto
 rs could better engage with opportunities and challenges in the sector pos
 t-pandemic and beyond.\n\n***\n\nThe British Association for Literacy in D
 evelopment (BALID) partners with the UNESCO Chair in Adult Literacy and Le
 arning for Social Transformation at the University of East Anglia to deliv
 er another virtual Informal Literacy Discussion (ILD)! ILDs have been runn
 ing since 2011 and are led by literacy practitioners and academics on a ra
 nge of current ‘hot topics’ in literacy.\n\n***\n\nBALID is a non-gove
 rnmental organisation (NGO) promoting adult and family literacy and numera
 cy as a basic human right\, in the context of development. We aim to bring
  together organisations and individuals who believe that sharing experienc
 e about learning and literacy can help enrich workers and citizens in both
  the industrial and the developing world. https://balid.org.uk\n\n***\n\nT
 his UNESCO Chair at the UEA programme aims to develop understanding about 
 how adult learning – particularly for women and young adults - can help 
 address inequalities in the poorest communities of the world. Through inve
 stigating how or why adult literacy might facilitate or respond to process
 es of social transformation\, including women’s empowerment\, the Chair 
 programme sets out to strengthen the interaction between formal\, non-form
 al and informal learning in research\, policy and programmes.\n\nhttps://w
