We are the voice of non-formal adult education in Europe

On 27 June 2025, EAEA, EARLALL and EfVET co-organised an online webinar called “Inclusion of unemployed women into the Labour Market”. The webinar  gathered 28 participants to hear about good practices and policies across Europe, which highlighted the role of flexible learning pathways for true inclusivity.

Europe is experiencing a demographic change without precedent, with a rapidly ageing population that presents both challenges and opportunities for European societies. Within this context, the concept of "active ageing" must be increasingly central to EU policy.

At a time when democracy, trust, and societal cohesion are under pressure across Europe, EAEA’s Annual Events highlighted how learning empowers people to stand up for shared values, engage in their communities, and support each other through uncertainty.
