As PRIA approaches its 40th Anniversary in February 2022, we are co-convening conversations on several thematic areas in which PRIA has worked:
Promoting early interest in STEM and role identification for girls, is of urgent interest for many global initiatives (e.g. Organization for Women in Science in the Developing World, 2021). Increasing proportions of girls and women studying and working in STEM would contribute not only to scientific development but to more equitable and sustainable societies, including gendered economic outcomes.

My name is Dr Patrick Holloway and I work at the ASEM LLL Hub at UCC. As CR&DALL members work closely with the ASEM LLL Hub, I am pleased to take the opportunity to tell subscribers a little about my background with adult education.
We are very pleased to announce that Erasmus International Masters in Adult Education for Social Change (IMAESC) student, McRhon Banderlipe, has just published his first co-authored book chapter, entitled Resilience and Growth: A University’s Response for Future-Proofing Graduates and Careers. Many congratulations to McRhon.
On 19 May 2021, with the adoption of the Berlin Declaration for Sustainable Development (ESD), participants at the UNESCO World Conference on ESD committed to promoting its integration at all levels of education. The UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) will support UNESCO Member States in their efforts to turn this commitment into reality.
Almost no corner of the globe has escaped the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, but these impacts have not been felt equally. Research has shown that our ability to respond to COVID-19 is influenced by social and economic status, suggesting that where and how we live matters. Nowhere is this more acute than cities and towns in developing countries.
