The European Education Area set out ambitious objectives, aiming at achieving universal access in the EU to quality education and training by 2025. What’s the state of the art of adult learning policy in our countries as of 2024?
Under pressure: (new) roles of adult educators
Adult educators are often expected to fulfil a multitude of tasks: facilitate, inform, support, motivate, innovate. What can adult learning organisations do to support educators?
Day 2: EAEA Annual Conference
Creative tools for advocacy and social change in the context of migration
