EAEA has published a new manifesto

The updated manifesto outlines nine challenges where adult education can play a key role. With the manifesto, EAEA wants to underline the transformative possibilities of adult education and the positive experience of Learning.

The manifesto presents arguments, studies, examples and learners’ stories that illustrate how adult education contributes to the positive development of Europe. In the upcoming European elections, the manifesto will help communicate EAEA’s vision of a Learning Europe with all necessary skills, knowledge and competences.

Currently the manifesto is available in English. Language versions are produced in cooperation with EAEA’s members.
