Technology has changed not only the how we work, but also has included some new skills in the world. It means that an adult will learn a new world wide movement that could be difficult. Therefore, it will be the responsibility off any facilitator to orientate adults in the processes of acquiring the new skills required by the technological world.

Muchas veces diseñamos cursos o programas de formación para adultos pensando en ellos como si fueran estudiantes de pre-grado. |

"As a tool for change, EAEA has published ‘Manifesto for Adult Learning in the 21st Century’. It sets objectives for creating a Learning Europe: a Europe that is able to tackle the future positively and with all necessary skills, knowledge and competences. Updated manifesto was published in the beginning of 2019. "

“Manifesto for Adult Learning in the 21st century: The Power and Joy of Learning” is a PDF document that has an extended introduction of some concepts and considerations about adult learning. I would take the risks of saying that this document will help any teacher interested in the andragogy field to know: the principles, recommendations, international policies, etc. Moreover, this material can help a professor who will teach andragogy to form new educators in this theme.
As an extra point: this document was developed by Publisher: European Association for the Education of Adults – EAEA and supported by The European Commission, which are two entities of great reputation.
