The International Adult and Continuing Education Hall of Fame opens the Call for Nominations until May 1st.

The next conference and ceremony for the class 2025 of Hall of Fame of Adult Education inductees is going to take place in Oklahoma in November, 8th. There is time until the 1st of May to submit the applications.

The International Adult and Continuing Education Hall of Fame has a rich and diverse history in honoring and paying tribute to those in the fields of adult and continuing education including scholars, practitioners, and policymakers.

The IACE annual conference is one of the most influential organisations in the field of adult education, representing more than 800 organisations working on the promotion of the right to learn, literacy, youth and adult education, and lifelong learning.

Last year EAEA had the honor of being inducted with the Organization Award for its contribution and impact on adult and continuing education. The three day conference was hosted in the beautiful settings of the University of Florence, with inspiring and motivational workshops and speakers. As you can see from our previous article, the conference is a blend of workshops, keynote speeches and inspiring speakers. To get a full list of the inductees of the last session, visit the IACE website.

Honoring our commitment, it is our turn to nominate potential candidates to be included in the Hall of Fame of Adult Education. 

Both individuals and organizations can be nominated. The selected ones will be invited to the conference and induction ceremony at the University of Oklahoma in Norman, on Saturday, November 8th, 2025.

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.
