Wanted: International Continuing Education Information
Monday August 18, 2008
I want to profile continuing education around the world, and I need your help. The more we know about each other, the smaller the world becomes, and the easier it is for people everywhere to get along. Familiarity fosters peace.
Where are you from? What is continuing education like in your part of the world? I'm talking about adults returning to school for any reason. How have you participated in lifelong learning? What are you planning on learning next? Do you have success stories to share?
Tell us about your experience with continuing education by leaving a comment below or joining the conversation in the forum.

Hmnnn, I live in Nuevo, very small, rural town in Riverside County, California. For anything, even groceries, I have to drive at least 20 minutes into town, although there is a market at both ends of the town. I can’t imagine there are any adult learning centers any where close. When I think about continuing ed for myself, I often wish I could learn Spanish, but don’t think I could commit if it were a long drive. INteresting to think about starting something here.
Deborah, since you have internet access. You might consider doing it online. There a so many opportunities to learn in the comfort of your home.
Hi Deborah and Annette,
I didn’t see your post, Deborah. Thanks for responding, Annette. Online learning is a great option when you’re outside city services but have internet access.
If you have the resources to start an organization of your own, I’m sure you can find county and state resources to help. Let us know what happens.
