  1. Reconciling the dichotomies of development: ways forward On the road to 2015: Putting the MDGs in Perspective Ana Agostino International Council for Adult Education

  2. Themes • Post development: a critical view of development • MDGs: reduction of agreements from conferences of the 90s • Reformultation of MDGs: a broad approach • Unveiling clues: reality is more that what it exists • GCAP / FTF

  3. Post Development • - Radical critique of development: * Development discourse defines and leads more than half of humanity to perceive themselves as underdeveloped* It tends to eliminate diversity* Economic growth as a synonym to development • - Invitation to unveil clues for the identification and construction of alternatives

  4. MDGs: a minimalist approach • Examples: • Environment (Rio, 1992) • Women (Cairo 1994, Beijing 1995) • Youth and Adult Education (Confintea V, 1997)

  5. Reformulation of MDGs: Development or the construction of just and egalitarian societies? • Millennium Goals for All

  6. Reality is more than what it exists • Sociology of Absences and Sociology of Emergences (B. de Sousa Santos) • Monocultures (knowledge, lineal time, naturalization of differences, dominant scale, productivity) and Ecologies (knowledges, temporalities, recognition, trans-scale , productivities) • “Anticipatory consciousness of other possible ways”

  7. GCAP – Feminist Task Force
