Association for Community Colleges

The Association for Community Colleges (ACC) was a Europe-based organization. Its principal aim was to foster the folk high school model across Europe.

Activities

The ACC engaged in a variety of European educational and community development initiatives. One project undertaken by the ACC was 'Youth 2002', a gathering of young Europeans to work on a constitutional drafting process. The ACC coordinated courses and produced educational materials, among them the Journal of World Education and the ACCENT magazine. The organization has since ceased operations.[1][2][3]

The ACC was active in Tuscany,[4] Cornwall,[5] Latvia[6] and The Netherlands.[7]

The ACC was founded on 11 August 1999 and closed in 2021.[8]
