Citizenship education has become central to the field of adult education. DVV International’s work in North Africa is based on the four pillars of citizenship education: learning to know, learning to be, learning to live together, and learning to do. This work has now been translated into a photo feature recounting the journey of champions of citizenship education in Tunisia.
The Adult Learning and Education System-Building Approach (ALESBA) describes a complex system which claims to take into account all components for a sustainable adult education system. In Uganda, DVV International and the Ministry of Gender, Labour, and Social Development, together with local governments, formed a strategic alliance to pilot ALESBA in four districts. The goal of the collaboration was to systematically improve adult education using a systems approach.
