European Study circle for peace and global learning
The learning form study circle is a common learning form in Sweden, but not very known in South Eastern Europe. The
project tries to introduce the study circle and its history in this area through establishing a European study circle with
partners from Austria, Hungary, (Sweden) and Slovakia. The partners have the possibility to carry out common research
and to exchange each other on a self- defined subject with changing emphasis on different field of attention. The main
subjects are peace and global learning and within this context the partners work together on the fields of intercultural
communication, improvement of relations to ethnical or gender minorities in their own surroundings, new forms of
learning for lesser qualified members of society, information competence and its relevance for democracy and try to
express their results in different forms of publications and art forms. The theoretical part of the study circle is guided
with a practical travel to the roots of adult education where knowledge and practical skills are generated, i.e. places like
libraries, museums, fabrics, universities, artistic studios, etc. and reflected in group based work in its local context.
