This publication introduces Curriculum globALE, a basic competence framework for the training of adult educators worldwide. By providing a modular, competency-based framework and cross-curricular approach, Curriculum globALE supports the professionalization of adult learning and education by specifying core competencies as a reference framework for the qualification of adult educators. This new version of Curriculum globALE is the result of an initiative guided by a steering group consisting of representatives of four partners, namely the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL), DVV International (the Institute for International Cooperation of the Deutscher Volkshochschul-Verband e.V. [DVV], the German Adult Education Association), the German Institute for Adult Education - Leibniz Centre for Lifelong Learning (DIE) and the International Council for Adult Education (ICAE).
Curriculum globALE is suitable to different contexts and its character and structure enables its inclusion in diverse national education systems. Specifically, Curriculum globALE aims to: (1) enhance the professionalization of ALE by providing a common reference framework for adult learning programmes and a suggested standard of competencies for adult educators; (2) support ALE providers in the design and implementation of 'train-the-trainer' programmes; and (3) foster knowledge exchange and mutual understanding between adult educators worldwide.
