EAEA has published the 2024 edition of its annual Grundtvig Award booklet, presenting innovative projects in non-formal adult education across Europe.
This year’s theme, “Transforming Lives, Communities, and Society,” inspired 31 applicants whose work underscores the profound impact adult learning can have on individuals and the broader community.
The ADELE project (transnational category) and SmartFood project (national/regional/local category) were selected as winners. In addition to the winners, the publication provides an overview of all the applicant projects, highlighting the diversity of the European adult education landscape today.
