Among the forms of expression that can acquire the social responsibility of universities in our opinion currently appears and continuing education throughout life, not necessarily that related solely to obtaining a professional degree but those related to adult education, which should also be part of the activities of the universities, which inevitably leads to the analysis of the figure and the model Volkshochschulen developed in Europe especially since 1900, with clear roots in France and England in the late nineteenth century.
In Spain, the folk find their source in the University of Oviedo in 1901, become another important area where traditional universities can also develop his work Today: adult education and learning throughout life, as one of its important responsibilities. An important event in Spain is the creation in 1982 of the English Federation Adult Education (FEUP) for its unifying role of such projects developed since then.
is important to note that VHS is not a unique expression, much less common in traditional academic institutions today, but in most cases originally due to social movements and citizens that embracing idea of \u200b\u200blifelong learning are developing this concept, especially level of municipalities and their responsibilities in education.
For example, according to Lee (2008:33) popular universities "are institutions of adult education and socio-cultural non-profit, under the control groups whose scope is the local community, thus confirming the strong emphasis city \u200b\u200band municipal context of such universities. In complementary fashion, FEUP itself declares that the university is a popular cultural development project to improve the quality of life of individuals and the community.
not forget any of the Adult Education projects have been related from its origin to the proposed training relating to social education and socio-cultural animation in full force today, especially as related to adult education. However
above, proposals such as the Permanent University Millán Santos for example, developed under the umbrella of the University of Valladolid, now combine perfectly the traditional university participation in the field of continuing education or for the entire life of adults, combining with the field of university extension.
In addition to this, several researchers link the movement of adult education the role of university extension to develop traditional university organizations, particularly as it relates to the dissemination and promotion of culture in society.
In this way, universities can gather important traditional work experiences of adult education in the last century, especially as it relates to adult education, social education and socio-cultural, as well as on related actions with learning programs for life, all areas in which society increasingly demand that higher education institutions perform different efforts both in teaching, research and outreach, especially in the context of social responsibility of universities.
