This webinar will analyse the evolution of institurions and organisations of adult education in Europe by focusing on impacts of bourgeioise/civil society developments, working class movements, the role of the nation-state in schooling/education and cultural developments and ont he influence of industrialisation.

The webinar will demonstrate for what reasons and in what process Central and Eastern European Adult Education had been constrained to take a different route after World War I by moving toward more authoritarian regimes instead of developing open societies and public opinion.
