Abstract
This document outlines guidelines for participatory research in adult education and literacy, emphasizing learner participation in the conception, implementation, and evaluation of programs. It stems from the deliberations at the International Forum on Participatory Research (April 1980) in Ljubljana, Yugoslavia, sponsored by UNESCO and the International Council for Adult Education (ICAE). These guidelines synthesize contributions from international practitioners and provide a framework for promoting participatory research as an approach to socio-economic development and educational empowerment.
