L'educazione degli adulti nei laboratori delle economie diverse

Abstract

Different, alternative, ethical, fair, sustainable locally based. These are some of the names given to the socio-economic experiences under research in recent years: they investigate the innovative forms that adult education is taking on and favour the consumers’ social movements and critical production as meaningful contexts for learning and informal education. The main findings of the submitted study show the importance of learning and self-learning as well as the capacity of the involved subjects to create learning contexts and to devise new knowledge. The practices of critical consumers and producers activate bonds with the community, foster the area and contribute to create a shared social fabric where knowledge and competence can circulate in the perspective of overcoming the dominant model of economic growth as measure of human beings.
