Grundtvig Award Ceremony and reception
Every year, EAEA seeks out adult learning and education (ALE) projects that stand out for their innovation and excellence. The EAEA Grundtvig Award highlights these projects in 2026, under the theme of “Resilience and Community-Building in Adult Learning and Education.”
This year’s theme focuses on how adult learning and education (ALE) strengthens individual and collective resilience, fosters solidarity, and builds inclusive, connected communities. In times of social, economic, environmental, and democratic challenges, ALE plays a crucial role in empowering learners, supporting communities, and building trust, participation, and cooperation.
We want to celebrate projects that respond creatively to uncertainty, crisis, and change and that show how adult learning can help people and communities not only cope, but thrive.
