Responding to the calling for cutting-edge research and reciprocal learning in the field, this book examines global cases to illustrate the ranges of diversity, challenges, and strategies in community education. The theoretical and empirical contributions of the book are drawn from 12 countries and economies globally, including Australia, Austria, China, Finland, Germany, Indonesia, India, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, South Korea, and the US. Each chapter presents a distinct case study, thereby illustrating how each nation approaches community education in response to its unique challenges, cultural contexts, and policy landscape. This cross-cultural book presents a diverse range of perspectives from a detailed view into the 'Maeul' (village) education movement's role in South Korea or a look into India's commitment to expanding lifelong learning considering the 2020 National Education Policy, to diving into US' focus on the role of community education in professional growth and quality of life or exploring Aotearoa New Zealand's educational policies. Showcasing vibrant educational practices across different regions, this volume will be of interest to academics, scholars and researchers in the fields of lifelong learning, community education, multicultural and comparative education, and educational policy.
