For our video podcast "Adult learning and education in times of Covid-19", we invite colleagues and partners around the world to give their assessment of how the Corona crisis affects adult education. In episode eight, we are discussing how the crisis affects community development and adult education in Laos. We talked to Somchit Phonevilai who is part of the academic staff in the Literacy and Upgrading Education Section of the Non-Formal Education Development Center in Hardxaiykhao Village.
