In this research seminar, Arne Carlsen will present the Global Report on Adult Learning and Education (GRALE I),  the first report of its kind. GRALE I draws on 154 national reports which were submitted by UNESCO member states to the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL), on the state of adult learning and education. He will also comment on GRALE II, which is expected to be published in the coming months, and which will report on progress in the field of adult education since 2009.

Arne Carlsen has served as Director of the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL), based in Hamburg, since June 2011. He was formerly Director for International Affairs at the Danish School of Education at Aarhus University in Copenhagen, and has a long-standing professional background in teaching and research, having played a leading role in several international initiatives in lifelong learning.
