April 13th - We are celebrating the life and work of Eduard Lindeman
The date is chosen in commemoration of Eduard Lindeman, a visionary adult educator who died 70 years ago on April 13th 1953. Lindeman believed that education is not bound by classrooms and formal curricula. Rather it involves a concern for the educational possibilities of everyday life; non-vocational ideals; situations not subjects; and people’s experience. He viewed education as life. The whole of life is learning, therefore education can have no ending. Lindeman felt our academic system to be in reverse order with subjects and teachers constituting the starting point and students secondary. In conventional education the student is required to adjust to an established curriculum; in adult education the curriculum is built around the students’ needs and interests. He believed:
· Education should be coterminous with life
· It should revolve around non-academic and non-vocational ideas
· It should start with the lives of the learners
· It should look to the learner's own experience as its most valuable resource
