The Seventh International Conference of the Popular Education Network (PEN) will take place at the University of Edinburgh from Wednesday 22 to Friday 24 June 2016. It seeks to build on the success of previous PEN conferences held in Edinburgh (2000), Barcelona (2002), Braga (2004), Maynooth (2007), Seville (2011) and Malta (2014).

The conference is an opportunity for university-based teachers and researchers, as well as others involved in higher education, who share a common interest in popular education - many of whom work in considerable isolation in their own institutions - to meet, exchange ideas, learn from each other and enjoy some much needed solidarity and conviviality.

The language of the conference will be English, but there will be opportunities for informal translation as appropriate. Non-English speakers are encouraged to attend and to participate fully.
