Grundtvig Award Call 2020

Applications are now being accepted for the 2020 Grundtvig Award.

It’s that time of year again! Our call for applicants for the 2020 Grundtvig Award is now live, and can be found here: Grundtvig Award 2020. 

Every year, EAEA looks to adult education projects from Europe and further afield for their demonstrations of innovation and excellence. The EAEA Grundtvig Award highlights programme results that produce new ideas, new partnerships, new methodologies and a new understanding of how we can work in adult education.

This year we are searching for programmes and initiatives relating to outreach and access within the world of adult education – if you think this could be you/your organisation please apply now!

Applications are accepted until 16/07/2020 (new deadline).

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.

Competence development with the help of technology: practical examples for educators

While the benefits of emerging technologies in adult education have already been recognised, educators still lack support to effectively integrate them in (non-)formal education contexts. Within the ETHLAE project, we have made a toolbox consisting of five learning areas with each two learning scenarios available to help educators in providing learner-centred support to adults in vulnerable situations.
