John Annette and Marjorie Mayo will be discussing work related to a project which was funded by the ‘Department for Communities and Local Government’ which was called ‘ALAC- Adult Learning for Active Citizenship’ and which resulted in the book ‘Taking Part? Active Learning for Citizenship, and beyond’ (NIACE, 2010).
