10 June 2026: EAEA Annual Conference
As economic and social conditions shift rapidly, Adult Learning and Education (ALE) helps reduce inequalities and supports adults who need new skills or renewed confidence. ALE strengthens both individual agency and community participation.
By building solidarity and shared capacity to face change, ALE fosters resilience—not only for individuals, but for whole communities. These ideas will be at the heart of EAEA’s 2026 annual conference on “Resilience and Community‑Building.”
Key moments of the second day:
- A keynote speech from Prof. Alicja Gałązka, University of Silesia
- 6 parallel workshops
- Panel discussion ‘Resilient Communities in Times of Crisis’
