Book excerpt: This report presents speeches and other materials from a seminar to provide an opportunity for specialists from a wide range of backgrounds to take part in a joint reflection on the new challenges and opportunities facing continuing education and training in an enlarged European Community. It is intended to stimulate ideas for a new policy approach to continuing education and training, especially one which would bridge the gap between the rather idealistic work of adult education and the more practical field of industrial training. Presentations include two welcoming speeches (Hywel Jones and Roger Faist), a speech on changes in the industrialized world that will affect education policy (Shirley Williams), and a shortened version of a statement on adult basic education and literacy, continuing training for new forms of work and development, and older workers (Henri Janne). Other contents are "New Perspectives in Continuing Education and Training in an Enlarged European Community," a general working paper drawn up by the Education Services of the European Commission; "Pointers for Continuing Education in Europe" (Jacques Delors); and conclusions and recommendations of the three working groups of the seminar: the development of basic adult education and literacy, the role of continuing education and training as a preparation for new forms of employment and development, and the problems of older workers and the transition to retirement and their implications for continuing education and training. Annexes include the seminar program and lists of participants and papers prepared on the three seminar themes. (YB)
