Why CONFINTEA VII matters
18 March 2022, 09:00 - 11:00 | Online
Webinar
In June 2022, the seventh global United Nations meeting on adult learning and education (ALE) is planned for Morocco. This is our opportunity to influence the framework for action for the next 12 years so that it does address critical issues for the majority world. The climate catastrophe, devastating war, and conflict most recently in Ukraine, health pandemics, food insecurity, and economic uncertainties, impact the majority of people and the environment, all of which are our concern.
PIMA is working with civil society ALE networks to impact the CONFINTEA processes to ensure that values of peace, social solidarity, human development, and socio-ecological justice are integral to the anticipated Marrakesh Framework.
The webinar is for PIMA members and associates who wish to understand the process of global policy making in ALE and to identify the intervention points. This is in preparation for an on-line consultation coordinated by UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) in the coming weeks. We look forward to you joining us!

Webinar: 'Exploring learning through culture: Leveraging the arts to empower cities'
You are warmly invited to the UNESCO Global Network of Learning Cities' Webinar: ‘Exploring learning through culture: Leveraging the arts to empower cities’ on 15 October 2025. This event is part of our global webinar series, ‘Unlocking the power of lifelong learning’, bringing together stakeholders from across the globe on the first and third Wednesday of every month.
This webinar will focus on culture and the arts as powerful vehicles for promoting lifelong learning in cities. Creative processes, whether they are related to the visual arts, music, dance or theatre, can foster new ways of thinking, personal growth and self-expression. These activities not only enhance cognitive abilities but also inspire individuals to see the world in a different way, encouraging innovative and outside-the-box thinking. Artistic interventions in urban spaces can transform city environments, offering opportunities to reconnect with local cultural heritage and forge stronger community bonds.
This webinar will delve into the potential of culture and artistic practices to shape urban learning experiences. Speakers will consider how cultural institutions and public art initiatives make culture-based learning accessible to diverse audiences. They will discuss strategies for integrating the arts into urban education policies. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how cultural initiatives can be designed to enhance educational inclusion, engagement and empowerment across diverse communities.
