Item Democracy and Peace options for Adult Educators(ASPBAE, 1991-03-15) Wijetunga, V.M.K.When the recent Gulf crisis finally end inevitably escalated into armed conflict of unprecedented proportions, and with equally unprecedented consequences on living things and the environment which sustains life, where were the adult educators, and how loud and resounding were their voices against this human arrogance and folly?

Were they writing; frantically to the local and national newspapers and using whatever other media, to share their apprehensions with others, and to educate others of the impending catastrophe? Or were we mute observers of a tragic situation unfolding before our very eyes or were we trying to run away to safe places, like the Osbornes during the 1961 missile crisis?Item Evaluating Social Development: Outcomes and Impact-A Review of the Current State of Play(1996-10) Oakley, PeterThis paper outlines the focus and aims of the international workshop on the evaluation of social development held in November 1996.
