was developed at the conference on Lifelong Learning, Higher Education and Active Citizenship from 10 - 12 October 2000 in Cape Town, South Africa, which was co-hosted by the University of the Western Cape, the UNESCO Institute for Education and the Adult Education Research Group of the Danish National University of Education. It grew out of a need recognised by adult and higher educators, scholars and specialists in the area of adult and lifelong learning to build on previous work focusing on transforming institutions of higher education into institutions of lifelong learning. It continues the work begun at the Fifth International Conference on Adult Education in Hamburg, Germany, 1997, continued at the University of Mumbai, India in 1998, and the UNESCO World Conference on Higher Education in Paris in 1998. The Cape Town Statement is presented as an organisational tool to be developed further in local contexts.
