Women, Violence and Adult Education Project World Education has been funded through the US DOE Women's Educational Equity Act for a three-year New England based project on Women, Violence, and Adult Education. The project recognizes that low education skills, unemployment, poverty, and violence against women are closely connected. Our aim is to help people in adult education and family violence services work in partnership with adult learners so that women who experience violence are supported in their educational goals. The project's initial event is an institute to be held in April. Participants will be examining issues of violence in women's lives and especially how violence effects learning. For institute participants interested in continuing work, World Education will be selecting six New England programs to take part in the full three-year project. At the end of the first year of program work, a group from the project will collect materials for a sourcebook to be used with other adult education programs. The sourcebook may include readings, classroom activities, and student writings. This work will be shared with other interested programs at a second institute in the fall of 2001. Teachers and learners who have been involved in the project will become editors, trainers, and mentors to new programs. In the last year of the Women, Violence and Adult Education Project, these teachers and learners will lead workshops based on the sourcebook to guide new programs in their own work.
