Make your impact visible – submit your ALE project for the EAEA Grundtvig Award!

This year, the EAEA Grundtvig Awards will be given to organisations that demonstrate the best approaches to promoting Flexible Learning Pathways.

EAEA Grundtvig Award 2025 is an opportunity to showcase initiatives that make ALE more inviting, inclusive, and generally flexible to learners’ diverse needs.

The awards are also a great chance to promote your project, as all the applicants will gain visibility in the EAEA Grundtvig Award publication.

We are looking for projects and initiatives that fulfill one or more of the following aims:

  • Increase the flexibility of the educational offer, helping to increase the participation of underrepresented groups in ALE – for example through flexible financing, grants, blended or self-paced learning.
  • Support blended learning opportunities, modular learning and other flexible learning structures.
  • Show readiness to adjust to individuals’ and groups’ needs and demands during the learning process
  • Encourage adult learners to take ownership over their learning process through determining the time, space and pace of their learning.
  • Assure high transferability of learning outcomes in ALE, through alignment with quality assurance procedures such as the European or National Qualifications Framework
  • Support key EU initiatives in terms of Flexible Learning Pathways, such as Individual Learning Accounts and micro-credentials.

Projects can be submitted in two categories: Local, Regional, or National projects & Transnational projects. 

Check further info on the call and submit your project until 12th April!

What does Quality Assurance mean in non-formal ALE?

For many educators and policymakers, ‘Quality Assurance’ is linked to strong bureaucratic processes and additional workload. In our view, we look  at Quality assurance as an organisational culture and a mindset, a mindful process of continuous improvements.
