This meeting aims to bring together Pathways to teaching identities partners to discuss the final details of the version and the layout of our handbook on interpersonal skills development among adult educators through non-formal learning practices in the context of adult education; before its publication.

This handbook makes the case for the crucially important role of interpersonal skills in contributing to the adult learners social and professional development to achieve a productive career and a better social, cultural, and economic life by examining how adult education is attempting to bridge the gaps between the need for adult learner’s career, social, cultural, and economic development, and the lack of interpersonal skills knowledge among adult educators. 

Through a combination of consultations and workshops learning activities, we explored how adult educators in project countries understand interpersonal skills and the kind of training they desire to develop their interpersonal skills and at the same, be able to transfer these skills to adult learners by integrating and fostering interpersonal skills in adult education.
