MIR is a group about adult education in local development. MIR stands for the main function of adult educators in the process of local development:
- M OTIVATION of people to be interested in local development and their own personal qualification to be part of local development
- I NVOLVEMENT of people in the process of planning and realizing common development goals. I could also stand for "Integration" of personal goals to community goals
- R ESOURCES that such motivated and involved people need, especially knowledge resources.
The MIR Group was formed at the Grundtvig Contact Seminar in Sintra/Portugal. We are using this list to communicate with all who are interested in the subject.
We are aware and alerted that each single function in adult education as cornerstone of local development can only be met when all functions are met. So we want to study the interrelation between motivation, involvement and the creation of resource centers in our own domains and at the locations of our partners.
