Project Origins
The partnership was formed at a contact seminar organised by the Austrian National Agency for Lifelong Learning in Graz in September 2008. Partners recognised that diversity is not just about visible difference between individuals, it is also present within a person's experience of regional, communal and political life. Each learner has both a social and cultural background and a world view experience which exerts a significant influence on their own learning behaviour. Consequently this also has an effect on learning providers and how they engage with learners. Identifying a project to uncover these Pathways to Intercultural and Political Learning became a real focus for the partners.
