Adult learners need to be able to navigate in a changing world, to critically analyze, select and evaluate local and global phenomena, and to foster a healthy and critical relationship with themselves and others. All this is especially important nowadays, considering the political context. The adult need for CT abilities is also evidenced by daily publications in the media and on social networks: adults are often the victims of their own ignorance, misunderstanding, deception, and the pervasive opinions of others. Thus, adults should not be left to educate themselves on this issue.
The solution offered by the project is mutual and peer-to-peer teaching and learning activities, which consolidate the previous project results.

On June 13th, Asociația Egomundi presented the MIND Program and Toolkit – Critical Theory in Adult Education Practice at Vadu Pașii Secondary School.

We were honored by the presence of engaged, curious, and open-minded participants. The discussions held during the event once again confirmed the relevance of this initiative and, most importantly, the crucial role of critical thinking – both in personal life and in professional development.
