Background
In recent years the themes for NVL’s thematic research networks have been integration, innovation, super diversity, transnational competences and entrepreneurship. NVL’s network on adult pedagogy has since 2006 been focusing on quality through competence development of those who work with adult’s learning processes.
 
At the seminar in Roskilde new research on super diversity, transnational competences and entrepreneurship will be presented and discussed on Thursday the 22nd. 
 
Working with diversity and super diversity in heterogeneous groups requires something else of those who work with organizing, implementing and assessing adult’s learning processes on different arenas. On Friday 23rd the requirements are discussed. There will be presentations on intercultural pedagogy, and on learning and competence development in transnational working groups. The aim is to collect input, ideas, and expressed competence needs from the participants, which will form the basis for NVL’s work in the next 4-year period.
 
The seminar is arranged as a collaboration between Roskilde University, Mälardalens Högskola, Jönköping International Business School (JIBS), National Centre of Competence Development (NCK), Aarhus University and Nordic network on adult learning (NVL).
