Hamburg Declaration on Adult Learning
The Hamburg Declaration on Adult Learning was adopted by the Fifth International
Conference on Adult Education held in Hamburg, 14-18 July 1997.
18. Indigenous education and culture. Indigenous peoples and nomadic
peoples have the right of access to all levels and forms of education
provided by the state. However, they are not to be denied the right to
enjoy their own culture, or to use their own languages. Education for
indigenous peoples and nomadic peoples should be linguistically and culturally
appropriate to their needs and should facilitate access to further education
and training.
