Similar fests and commemorations will be provided in the forthcoming years. 2022 marks the birth centenary of former Tanzanian President, Julius Nyerere whose contribution to African thinking on Education (including Adult Education) and Development has been significant. We recently mourned the passing of bell hooks who had a great influence on critical pedagogy. Both will be celebrated through similar events this year.
Next year is the birth centenary year of Don Lorenzo Milani who we hope to celebrate in a similar manner, attracting practitioners and scholars from different parts of the world. February-March is the target period for the revival of the adult education flagship journal, Convergence.
