The Hall of Fame honors leaders in the fields of continuing education and adult learning,
and serves as a record of inspiration for the next generation of continuing education leaders.
Annually, adult and continuing education leaders from around the world are selected for
induction into the International Adult and Continuing Education Hall of Fame.
These individuals reflect the great diversity of adult and continuing education practice and scholarship
and the increasingly global leadership community that constitutes the IACE Hall of Fame

During last Autumn, we presented a Survey for the European inductees
of the International Adult Continuing Education Hall of Fame (hereafter
HOFE-members). A letter and a questionnaire was sent to the 35
HOFE-members who are alive and inducted up to and including 2015
(Oklahoma, November 2015). After two rounds of reminders, we received 22
answers, close to 60 per cent. The Hall of Fame members from Europe
covers the following countries: Denmark (1), Finland (1), Norway (1),
Sweden (1), Germany (5), Switzerland (3), Romania (3), Scotland (1),
United Kingdom (9), Ireland (1), Portugal (2), Serbia (3), Hungary (2),
Bulgaria (1), France (1) and Holland (1)
Eleven of the respondents were inducted from the year 2010 and up to
date, while eleven were inducted before 2010. It seems to be slightly
equel engagement for the Hall of Fame , regardless when they were
inducted.
Most of the respondents are or have been engaged at universities
(15), while half so meny (7) have or have had the public or the NGO
sector as theis primary base for occupation.
A quite interesting finding was that almost all the respondents still
are involved in Adult learning and Education (ALE) in some way or
another. On the other hand: The people still engaged in the sector would
probbly be more likely to answer our survey…
The survey was made posssible due to a project financed by the
Swiss Adult Education Association (SVEB) and its director, Andre
Schläfli.
