Imagining tomorow book cover

A study of the increasing importance of community and workplace adult education in the First and Third Worlds. Marjorie Mayo looks at the impact of globalisation, economic restructuring and the enhanced role of community and voluntary organisations. She presents the case for wider understanding of the context and possibilities for local development as part of longer-term strategies for transformation.

Marjorie Mayo examines the implications of adult learning for sustainable development for social justice, defined by local communities themselves. She takes case studies from Tanzania, Cuba, India and Nicaragua as well as from the industrialized ‘North’ to illustrate her themes. The book concludes by focusing on issues of culture, identity, diversity and changing consciousness; and the role of community education in strengthening collective confidence to effect social transformation.
