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.
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.
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.
