Creating New Trajectories for Adult Education - The word trajectory has several meanings. In general terms, a trajectory is the path of an object through space, or through the path of life a person chooses. In geometry a trajectory is a curve or surface that cuts through all other curves or surfaces of a given system at a constant angle. Just as the word has several meanings, the theme of “Creating new trajectories for adult education” could have multiple for conference attendees.

Education changes the lives of our adult students in many ways – and from many different angles – thus impacting both the individual and their family system.
