2. Transdisciplinary Dialogue

Education and health are two sides of the same coin for life expectancy (Lutz/Kebede 2018 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/padr.12141). The decisive factor here is a careful and preventive start to formal learning. This topic, at first glance distant from adult education, was addressed by the second Transdisciplinary Dialogue Adult Education of the Center for Transdisciplinary Continuing Education Research in the Department of Continuing Education Research and Educational Management at the University of Continuing Education Krems. Basically, learning in early childhood is done through play, according to Serap Sevimli-Celik. Play, if given space, generates learning and well-being as if by itself. The fact that body-oriented and play-based forms of learning should also be used in a science-based, goal-oriented manner, for example to build mathematical imagination, was vividly illustrated and tried out in the practical workshop the next day.

NICE Academy will take place this year in Liepaja, Latvia, August 23-26, 2023August

Career planning for individuals can be hampered by a variety of personal, health, social, cultural, economic, environmental, and political factors, as well as the multicultural context of society. The role of a career practitioner is to develop and/or select and employ appropriate approaches and methods to reduce the impact of risk factors and thus support the realization of the potential of individuals. This task becomes increasingly complex, as individuals often face multiple challenges exacerbated by larger systemic upheavals.

Transdisciplinary dialogue on continuing education

Education and health are two sides of the same coin for the life expectancy. Completed years of schooling are globally proven to be a kind of sustainable key to be able to unlock the gates of knowledge along the lifespan again and again and to achieve changes that affect health actions (Lutz & Kebede 2018). Adult education then helps to maintain, even realign and positively change educational attainment (Benefits of Lifelong Learning, BeLL, see link to 1st dialogue). International medical-based research (especially the FINGER study) proves that continuing education can also succeed in older adulthood with a mix of nutritional counselling, exercise, and cognitive training to prevent or postpone the development of dementia.
