News at the Professorship for Adult and Continuing Education

Winter Term 2023/24

After an exciting summer term, we are looking forward to the upcoming winter term 2023/24.

This semester we are pleased to welcome Prof. Dr. Natália Alves (University of Lisbon, Portugal) as a DAAD guest lecturer at the Professorship for Adult and Continuing Education. She will teach several seminars in both the Bachelor's and Master's programs: "Biography and Adult Learning", "Vocational Education and Training (VET) and Human Development", and "Adult Education, Gender and Intersectionality". Furthermore, she will be part of the Adult Education Academy 2024, where she will give a compact course on "Adult Education and Gender: Women in STEM Higher Education Courses". In addition, Prof. Alves will host a public guest lecture on "Recent Trends in Continuing Training in European Companies" and a hybrid workshop on "Researching Gender in Adult Education", where both national and international colleagues and students can participate. Students of the University of Würzburg can have their participation credited for the GSiK certificate.

Additionally, we are pleased to welcome Prof. Dr. Dr. Heribert Hinzen (Former Director, DVV International, Honorary Fellow, UNESCO Institute of Lifelong Learning) at the professorship again. In the context of the Master of Educational Science he will offer the English-language block seminar "Lifelong Learning: international perspectives, policies and experiences". Furthermore, we are happy to welcome Barbara Lampe, who will take over the leadership in the seminar "Bildung, Beratung und Kompetenzentwicklung".

We also look forward with great pleasure to the start of the double degree program "Management of Educational Services, Adult and Continuing Education" in collaboration with the University of Padua. More information can be found on the website of the Institute of Pedagogy.

As in previous semesters, we kindly invite you to numerous guest lectures. You will find all our current events on our website and on social media as soon as the dates are fixed. They cover a wide range of topics and promise exciting insights into adult education and lifelong learning.

Most international events are creditable for the GSiK-certificate.

Bachelor and Master students as well as doctoral candidates again have the opportunity to spend a semester abroad at one of our partner universities and can apply for a scholarship. In addition, there is the possibility to apply for internships abroad at DVV International and its partner institutions in Georgia and the Palestinian Territories. More information is available on "Studies and Internships Abroad".

We look forward to an enriching winter term 2023/24!

Best regards,
Professorship for Adult and Continuing Education
