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.
In Novembe, a large delegation of the University Continuing Education Network Finland (UCEF) visited the UWK for three days. The Center for Transdisciplinary Continuing Education Research, together with the Finnish university continuing education experts, established an intensive exchange of ideas and experiences with the UWK, especially on study areas of interest - such as migration and globalization and psychotherapy - and the development of cooperation ideas for continuing education research.
Adult education has an effect! - Under this motto, the newly founded Center for Transdisciplinary Continuing Education Research at the University of Continuing Education Krems (Univ.-Prof. Dr. phil. habil. Monika Kil and Ass.-Prof. Dr. Filiz Keser Aschenberger) and the Association of Austrian Adult Education Centers (Dr. Stefan Vater, Dr. Gerhard Bisovsky) presented the Austrian BeLL study on May 9, 2022.
