Correspondence and papers relating to the implementation of the ideas and practices of the Brazilian adult educator, Paulo Freire. Colin Kirkwood first became aware of Paulo Freire in 1975/1976. He began teaching about him, initially by leading reading groups in the Kirkwoods' home, and later submitted a proposal to Lothian Regional Council for a community-based project to implement Freire's ideas. The proposal was accepted and in 1979, the Adult Learning Project (ALP) was established in the working-class Gorgie Dalry area of Edinburgh. Geraldine Kirkwood played a leading role in the ALP from its inception until 1989.

Many of the letters and papers relate to the writing and publication in 1989 of the book 'Living Adult Education: Freire in Scotland' by Colin and Geraldine Kirkwood, an account of the ten year initial effort to establish the ALP. Contents include:

• Articles by and about Paulo Freire
• Reviews of 'Living Adult Education: Freire in Scotland'
• Papers relating to the conference 'Challenging Education, Creating Alliances: An Institute in Honor of Paulo Freire's 70th Birthday', New York, 1991 at which Colin and Geraldine Kirkwood delivered a workshop

A set of course unit packs produced by staff of the University of Strathclyde and staff of the government-sponsored Scottish Further Education Unit, and funded by the Department of Education, Strathclyde Regional Council. The packs contain materials to support the Certificate/Diploma in Adult Guidance course offered in the Faculty of Education, University of Strathclyde.
The Certificate/Diploma course programme comprised 24 units (seven core units and 17 elective units) covering different areas of adult guidance. It was devised as a staff development package for those working with adults in broadly educational settings (in colleges, community education, the careers service and in secondary schools). The units were accredited, with completion of the seven core units plus a total of six elective units leading to the Diploma in Adult Guidance, awarded by the University of Strathclyde. Each unit pack consists of a unit descriptor, a delivery overview, assessment guidelines, resource materials (including information sheets and activity sheets), assessment sheets and a unit evaluation form.
