The Learning Festivals Guide is the output of a cooperative process of a “core” network of adult learners’ week coordinators from all continents. Following a workshop at NIACE (The UK National Association for Adult Learning) in May 2000, this network produced an international guide containing illustrations of how adult learners’ weeks are being organized in different countries worldwide, with the aim of supporting other countries wishing to embark on - or consolidate - their own national learning festival. The guide has been finalized by means of an Internet discussion forum and is available in English, French, Spanish and German. The Guide is also meant to maintain the communication of the network and to expand it to other individuals eager to join the movement.

Apart from NIACE, special thanks need to be expressed to the Swiss Federation for Adult Education (SVEB) and the Latin American Network of Popular Education for Women (REPEM) for the translation into German, French and Spanish, respectively.
