The Liberal Adult Education Days on 29–30 August 2024 were held at Helsingin aikuisopisto

The Liberal Adult Education Days are a national event that brings together people working in the field once a year. The main venue for the event in August was Helsingin aikuisopisto on Runeberginkatu.

Theme: “The diversity of liberal adult education as a resource for society”

The autumn event brought people in the field together to reflect on current issues in liberal adult education in the spirit of the Year of Bildung (Sivistyksen juhlavuosi). The theme of the event brought together the past, the present and the future. The programme was varied, with lectures, workshops and discussions.

125 people on site and 40 online shared their experiences, looked for new ideas for their work and built the future of liberal adult education together.

Organisers

The event was organised by Aktiivi-Instituutti, the Regional State Administrative Agencies, Opintokeskukset ry (the association of Finnish study centres) and Vapaa Sivistystyö ry (the Finnish Adult Education Association).
