Abstract

This qualitative paper utilises an international-comparativistic approach. It considers the similarities and differences between three case studies set in adult learning and education (ALE) centres in the UK, Germany and Spain. It illustrates how, using an arts-based workshop, Connected Art, could aid in developing ALE awareness of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, (SDGs). It compares the social, cultural and political contexts of ALE in art across the case studies. There will be discussions on the weaknesses and strengths whether there are some good practices worth ‘borrowing’ around art pedagogy and what might the consequences of SDG led art practice for adult learners might be?
