A call to action for Policy Makers, the Adult Education Community and Society
This publication presents key recommendations to enhance the role of learner voice in ALE, drawing on principles from Paulo Freire’s critical pedagogy and bell hooks’ vision of education as a practice of freedom. The critical message is that when learners’ voices are heard and acted upon, it fosters both personal empowerment and societal change. This approach aligns with the European Union’s commitment to inclusive education, where adult learners are not just recipients of education but agents in their own learning journeys.
The ENHANCE project is grounded in the belief that learners’ voices are not only valuable but vital to shaping just, inclusive, and responsive adult education systems. This series of three mini-booklets was created to give space to those voices—voices that are too often ignored, undervalued, or actively silenced.
