The Mediterranean: Adult Education Landmarks

Chapter
First Online:

Abstract

This chapter addresses the Mediterranean basin as not simply a geographical space but a cultural–political construct. While some project the Mediterranean in a manner reflects a colonial and Eurocentric worldview, others see it as part of ‘the South’. By providing an overview of adult education provision in this heterogeneous region, Mayo seeks to place ‘Adult Education in the Mediterranean’ on the international educational map—in line with other regions of the world (e.g. Latin America).
