Mais le message de ce livre n'est pas destiné aux universitaires, mais aux personnes qui aideront les choses à changer sur le terrain. Ce livre parle de la réalité – de vraies personnes, des situations réelles et de ce que j'appelle le développement réel. »
James P. Grant, directeur exécutif, UNICEF

Dans un style distinctement personnel et très divertissant, Jane Vella révèle douze principes de base de l'apprentissage des adultes pour offrir une approche pratique, éprouvée et universellement applicable à l'éducation des adultes.
