The 24^th international General Conference of IFWEA will take place in Cape Town, South Africa, between Monday 4 December to Friday 8 December 2023. The theme of the 24^th General Conference will be “Education for Empowerment”.

IFWEA’s highest decision making body is the international General Conference, which meets every four years and elects the General Secretary, President and Executive Committee. It is also the event where the IFWEA strategic programme for 2024 – 2028 will be defined. And it provides a valuable meeting space for worker educators to discuss their purpose in providing education which empowers worker associations towards advancing democratic freedoms, social justice and equality. In addition, worker educators and researchers can share their work and resources and plan future collaborations.
