Building Harmony: the first Live and Learn video is ready!

There’s a story behind every adult learner and every educator. The Live and Learn project consortium aims to shed some light on the learning pathways in lifelong learning and is now ready to present the results.

ELM, the European Lifelong Learning Magazine, is now bringing you the first video, coming all the way from Finland. You can also have a look below to discover the story of an amateur orchestra and their conductor.

The transformative power of education in closed environments

Education is a fundamental right. But for people living in prisons, detention centres, and other closed environments, that right often remains out of reach. At the EAEA Annual Conference in Warsaw, a workshop brought together adult education practitioners to explore what it takes to make education (including digital education) a reality behind closed doors and how ALE can contribute actively to systemic change.
