How to identify, analyse, and assess the various types of adult learning needs? How to develop programmes tailored to these needs? This study guide is written for postgraduate students preparing to become professional adult educators, as well as for those intending to plan educational programmes for adults. The book covers the various types of adult (learning)needs and provides hints on how to identify, analyse, and assess these needs. It presents typical challenges involved in performing such an analysis as well as theoretical considerations of the concept and types of needs, of diagnosing educational needs and their theoretical understanding. The author draws conclusions on how to develop programmes tailored to the needs identified. With a focus on practical concerns, she illustrates the necessary steps as well as the factors to be considered when designing an educational programme for adults, both in the planning stage and in the stages of implementation and evaluation.

The UK government of Tony Blair is committed to fostering a European dimension of planning practice. Significant developments in relation to planning within Europe are occurring. The creation of the European Spatial Development Perspective, the reform of the Structural Funds, and the implementation of programmes to foster trans-national co-operation between governments, will all impact on UK government, and on planning system in particular. Even within the UK, devolution and regionalisation will bring new pressures for overall co-ordination on the issue of European spatial planning. Issues concerning the revisions of the Structural Funds in 2000 and 2006, and funding opportunities for local authorities, are closely connected with the theme of this book. More importantly, it is expected that the link between funding and spatial policy within British planning will become more clearly defined during this period. The European dimension of British planning, as a consequence, may grow significantly over the next few years. The authors tackle four key issues in their discussion of this topic: * British political attitudes to Europeanisation issues * The changing relationships between different arms of the state * The often complex interdependencies between tiers of governance * The rapidly changing definition of British urban and regional planning

Les programmes politiques sont au cœur de la vie politique des démocraties contemporaines : les promesses que l'on tient, ou que l'on trahit, les débats sur le réalisme des propositions des candidats nourrissent discours politiques et commentaires journalistiques. Cet ouvrage entend ouvrir un nouveau chantier de recherche portant sur l'invention et les usages des programmes depuis le 19e siècle. Comment et pourquoi les programmes sont-ils apparus et comment ont-ils été codifiés et diffusés jusqu'à devenir incontournables dans l'action politique ? Quels sont les acteurs (intellectuels, experts, think tanks, sondeurs…) qui interviennent dans leur production ? Comment les candidats et militants des partis les utilisent-ils, et les appliquent-ils ? Politistes ou historiens, les auteurs de cet ouvrage privilégient une approche empirique sous la forme d'études de cas relatives à différentes époques ou pays. En se penchant sur la genèse historique des programmes, sur leurs usages et conditions de production, et sur les programmes de la gauche française durant les années 1970 et 1980, les études réunies montrent que, loin de constituer de simples catalogues de mesures d'action publique bien identifiables et stabilisées, les programmes et leurs significations sont sans cesse retravaillés et modifiés, interprétés et défaits par ceux qui les mobilisent. L'étude des programmes politiques proposée dans cet ouvrage renouvelle ainsi le regard qui est porté sur la vie politique et sur les idées politiques.

"Much of worldâ s documentary heritage rests in vulnerable, little-known and often inaccessible archives. Many of these archives preserve information that may cast new light on historical phenomena and lead to their reinterpretation. But such rich collections are often at risk of being lost before the history they capture is recorded. This volume celebrates the tenth anniversary of the Endangered Archives Programme at the British Library, established to document and publish online formerly inaccessible and neglected archives from across the globe. From Dust to Digital showcases the historical significance of the collections identified, catalogued and digitised through the Programme, bringing together articles on 19 of the 244 projects supported since its inception. These contributions demonstrate the range of materials documented â including rock inscriptions, manuscripts, archival records, newspapers, photographs and sound archives â and the wide geographical scope of the Programme. Many of the documents are published here for the first time, illustrating the potential these collections have to further our understanding of history."
