"The Government wants to reinforce Danish power of cohesion and competition. Our suggestion is: Use non-formal adult education! Use non-residential folk high schools, evening schools and associations that know what it takes to motivate and incentivise the population to further education." (Introduction to feature article "Globalisaton councel for Prime Minister")
At the initial preliminary meeting of the Globalisation Council in April 2005, the Prime Minister stated that during the next couple of years the government would formulate an overall strategy for gearing up Denmark for the global economy.
An advisory council was set up to provide advice on the content of the strategy. The Globalisation Council comprised highly qualified members from different sections of Danish society.
Almost one year later, in March 2006, the council held its final meeting where the delegates discussed the globalisation strategy submitted by the Government.
During the process the Globalisation Council held 15 meetings. Most of the meetings focused on education and training, but at no point in time did the council discuss non-formal adult education. Neither did non-formal adult education have any position in the final globalisation strategy of the Government.
