The Association for Community Colleges (ACC) was a Europe-based organization. Its principal aim was to foster the folk high school model across Europe.
Activities The ACC engaged in a variety of European educational and community development initiatives. One project undertaken by the ACC was 'Youth 2002', a gathering of young Europeans to work on a constitutional drafting process. The ACC coordinated courses and produced educational materials, among them the Journal of World Education and the ACCENT magazine. The organization has since ceased operations.
The ACC was active in Tuscany, Cornwall, Latvia and The Netherlands.
The ACC was founded on 11 August 1999 and closed in 2021.
