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

With a majority of 54% votes from the MEPs, the new Commission is ready to start its mandate led by 11 women, 16 men, and a brand new portfolio. The new Commission will take office during a period of high geopolitical tension.

EAEA organised three events during the Lifelong Learning Week 2024, ranging from enhancing the learners’ voice, to empowering educators for higher quality adult education provisions, to a holistic view of society and the family in policy-making.

In October 2024, EAEA organised the “ABC of ALE” training programme in Brussels, an introductory capacity-building workshop that delved into Adult Learning and Education (ALE) as a historic concept, movement, and transformative tool in society. The training targeted entry and mid-level professionals in the field, with the view to provide them with an overview of the concept of non-formal adult learning and education, linking it to both theory and practice.
