NIACE has made a commitment to supporting adult learning in Scotland by ensuring that Concept continues to be the very best way of sharing policy and practice in adult learning, and offers a lively independent forum for critical debate and exchange of ideas in contemporary community education.
Concept is published three times year and edited by Mae Shaw of the University of Edinburgh. The majority of articles are from practitioners, alongside academics and political commentators. Two recent themed editions on subjects of particular interest and relevance have focussed on democracy and globalisation.

Statement of intent
1. We seek to make a contribution to the creation of a critical culture,
where workers can engage with each other and their experiences.
2. We seek to reflect the diversity of views about community education purposes
and practice.
3. We encourage challenges to assumptions and orthodoxies within community
education and seek to promote progressive developments.
4. We wish to stimulate debate which represents a range of viewpoints.
5. We encourage practitioners to reflect critically on their own experience as a
way of re-interpreting existing ideas and generating new ones. In particular, we
recognise the value of learning from all practice - 'ineffective' as well as
'effective'.
6. We seek to scrutinise critically policy developments and implications for
practice.
7. We seek to encourage contributions from all sections of the field in the form
of reviews, articles and letters.
8. We offer assistance to any contributor who wishes to develop ideas into
print.
