The CONFINTEA VI Mid-Term Review (MTR) Conference took place in Suwon and Osan, Republic of Korea, in October 2017. Stakeholders from 95 UNESCO Member States assessed progress in implementing the Belém Framework for Action (BFA) and discussed the next steps. The BFA, which was adopted by delegates at the Sixth International Conference on Adult Education (CONFINTEA VI) in Belém, Brazil, in December 2009, records the commitments of Member States and presents a strategic guide for the future development of adult learning and education (ALE) within the perspective of lifelong learning.

This publication constitutes the third outcome document of the conference. It provides an overview of the main thematic debates. The chapters follow the conference themes and aim to illustrate or underpin the main arguments and way forward set out in the Suwon-Osan Statement.
